Facebook announces next-generation Open Rack frame

This initiative has several goals:

As the industry turns to AI and ML to solve more difficult problems, the systems that are used to drive these solutions are increasing the power density at both the component level and the system level. As several members of the OCP community have shown, 48V power delivery in Open Rack has certain advantages over 12V distribution:

As we face power density challenges at both the component and system levels, liquid cooling is a logical solution. Facebook and Microsoft encourage other OCP community members to join these subgroups as we develop the specifications that will drive the frame and power components.
