UK Colocation and IXP operator, Stellium Datacenters, has announced it is one of the first UK data centre operators to achieve OCP Ready status, including a listing on the Open Compute Project (OCP) Marketplace as an accredited solutions provider.
OCP Ready certified data centres provide colocation services capable of supporting high-power compute (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads. As part of Stellium’s OCP Ready provision, they provide HPC cooling of client racks from 10 to 100kW using in-row/rear door chilled water cooling. Bespoke designs can be supported for fully immersive cooling up to 200kW per rack.
The certification follows a detailed process of working with the Open Compute Project to successfully self-certify against OCP’s rigorous compliance requirements and where Stellium achieves over 74% in the OCP ‘Optimum’ category, confirming its systems maximise the performance and efficiency of OCP recognised hardware. The technical space provides a platform for the largest and heaviest rack enclosure system available under OCP specification.
“Stellium Datacenters’ DC1 data centre has been through a thorough peer review process by the OCP community and achieved OCP Ready recognition for implementing the industry’s best practices for efficiency and scale,” said Mark Dansie, OCP Ready Facilities Lead at OCP. “This facility, which is the first colocation data centre in the North of England to be certified, has been designed to keep pace with the increase in densities, power and cooling requirements of OCP recognised hardware.”
