To th is end, the Open Compute Project is a set of technologies that reduces energy consumption and cost, increases reliability and choice in the marketplace, and simplifies operations and maintenance. One key objective is openness—the project is starting with the opening of the specifications and mechanical designs for the major components of a data center, and the efficiency results achieved at facilities using Open Compute technologies. Two components of this project are a custom server chassis and three-column cabinet called a triplet. The chassis is designed to accommodate the other custom components in an Open Compute Project server, namely the customer motherboard and power supply. The assembled servers are racked in the custom triplet.
