Traditionally, data center racks have used 12-volt power
shelves, but higher performance compute and storage platforms
demand more power, which results in very high current. Moving from
12-volt to 48-volt power distribution reduces the current draw by a
factor of four and reduces conduction losses by a factor of 16.
This results in significantly better thermal performance, smaller
busbars and increased efficiency.
This new standards-based design has been developed in
collaboration with major OCP users and is intended to create a
common power platform for multiple customers across deployments,
increasing adoption and creating economies of scale to benefit the
whole OCP community.
“We are highly engaged in the development of OCP Open Rack
standards and specifications, with input from multiple leading
hyperscale data center customers,” said Brian Korn, senior
director, data center solutions for Advanced Energy’s Artesyn
Embedded Power product group. “We are enabling the market adoption
of this next generation 48-volt power distribution architecture
through collaboration across multiple companies to address shared
challenges, offering OCP compatible solutions while retaining our
differentiating intellectual property.”
The new OCP ORv3 power shelf will be a key technology enabler in
the growing adoption of 48-volt rack power distribution in
hyperscale data centers. Artesyn products deliver rack power
solutions in the $1.9 billion data center computing embedded power
market, which is fast-growing thanks to the acceleration of data
generation and use, growing cloud adoption across enterprise IT,
and an increased workload driven by artificial intelligence and
machine learning.
The launch of the new ORV3 power shelf is aligned with the OCP
Virtual Summit, from May 12 to 15, 2020. The company has been
heavily involved in the development of previous Open Rack
interoperability specifications and OCP compatible solutions. This
is the fourth year the company will be participating in the OCP
Global Summit and senior technical marketing director, Harry Soin,
will be presenting on the 1OU Shelf Architecture in the session,
“Deep Dive on Open Rack V3 Power Shelves” at 11:00 a.m. on
Thursday, May 14.
