I have been going to OCP since its start in 2011 at Facebook’s campus and it is nice to see that OCP and OPEN 19 are introduced to the data center building audience of 7x24 Exchange. There are a handful of people who go to both OCP Summits and 7x24 Exchange but it is not many.

The panel has Greg Stover (Vertiv), John Gross (J.M. Gross Engineering), Peter Panfil (Vertiv), and Zachary Smith (Equinix).

The panel discussion worked well to discuss the issue of open standards like OCP and OPEN 19 and its impact on the industry. To give you an idea of what OCP and OPEN 19 work on the following diagram was shared.
