RackRenew exhibited at the 2025 OCP Global Summit in San Jose from 13 to 16 October. At booth C63 we introduced the North American open compute community to Circular IT: remanufactured OCP hardware from hyperscale decommissions, fully tested, warranted and ready for enterprise deployment.
The summit is the flagship event of the Open Compute Project, and the perfect place to show that sustainability and performance are not a trade off. Every system we ship is remanufactured in Sims Lifecycle Services production facilities, which hold ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification.
Why meet RackRenew at an event
An event is the one place where you can see remanufactured OCP hardware next to the people who remanufacture it. Our team brings actual systems to the floor: compute nodes, storage platforms and the component level work that goes into remanufacturing, from NIC replacement to full firmware validation.
It is also the fastest way to get real answers. Bring your infrastructure roadmap and we will tell you on the spot what is feasible: which platforms fit your workload, what a realistic lead time looks like, and what up to 70% vs. new hardware1 means for your specific configuration.
Topics we discuss at every event
- Deploying remanufactured OCP compute and storage in enterprise and service provider environments.
- Embodied carbon reduction and audit ready ESG documentation through Origin Mark traceability (in adoption).
- The circular supply chain: how hyperscale decommissions from Sims Lifecycle Services become enterprise ready hardware.
- Open racks, adoption barriers and where the OCP ecosystem is heading.

Event recap
The 2025 OCP Global Summit in San Jose was our introduction to the North American open compute community. From booth C63 we presented Circular IT: remanufactured OCP hardware from hyperscale decommissions, fully tested, warranted and ready for enterprise deployment.
The response confirmed what we see in Europe: the market is ready for infrastructure that performs like new without the footprint of new. We will be back for the 2026 edition.
1 Based on RackRenew like-for-like reference comparisons of remanufactured switch, compute node, and storage node configurations against the market price of equivalent new equipment, held on file by RackRenew. Where a comparison involves a model no longer sold new, RackRenew states that in the comparison.
2 Actual lead times depend on final customer configuration, component availability and destination. RackRenew does not guarantee delivery windows on this website.
3 RackRenew assigns the embodied carbon of a component to its first owner, who incurred the manufacturing emissions at original purchase. A component that enters a second service life through remanufacture is counted at zero embodied carbon for the second owner.
