CG-OpenRack-19 Half-Width OpenSled Server Design Specification

Standards development around networking and communications frameworks has become increasingly important with the growing utilization of edge, cloud and fog computing architectures that support the OT/IT/CT convergence critical to driving business value.

OCP’s CG-OpenRack-19 specification is used as a guideline for OCP suppliers and carriers to implement a standards-based computer system within central office environments utilizing an OCP-based infrastructure. This latest OCP- approved OpenSled spec is based on ADLINK’s OCCERA(Open Compute Carrier-grade Edge Reference Architecture), which provides the definitions for the internal configuration options of the CG OpenRack Sled, including options for key appliances to utilize additional components inside the sled. These options could include, but are not limited to, multi-host controllers, PCIe switching, software and hardware accelerators and storage solutions.
