Facebook enters the data center design under the concept of 'hardware' open

Facebook engineers have been working for two years to conceive how they should be the servers and data centers to respond adequately to the changing needs of Internet services. And now this job has been made public in open for the whole community can benefit from its conception to the time to think about new servers and data centers.

And it has opened a space on the network, Open Compute Project. Facebook says its prototype data center consumes 38% less energy than existing facilities and costs 24% less. The project engineers have used technology from Intel and AMD. To engage in collaborative dialogue with the computer hardware industry, Facebook published technical specifications, from the energy supply to the chassis.


The founder of social networking, Mark Zuckerberg, believes that the materials that manufacturers provide their customers do not go in line with what they need. Dell will build servers based on these new specifications and Synnex Corp will distribute. This technology will be the basis of Facebook data center in Oregon.
