Hyve Solutions, a Synnex Corp.subsidiary, supplier of purpose-built servers and storage gear, has made its Open Compute Project (OCP) suite of data center solutions available to US Federal government entities with its inclusion on GSA Schedule 70.

GSA (General Services Administration) is the procurement agency of the US government which coordinates much of the IT and data center product and services purchasing government-wide. Schedule 70 is a list of pre-screened IT vendors government agencies are allowed to buy products from.

OCP is an open-source data center infrastructure and hardware design community launched by Facebook.

“Hyve Solutions’ goal has been to use our design expertise, superior integration services and logistics infrastructure roots to make OCP solutions available to a wider user base,” said

Steve Ichinaga, Hyve’s SVP and general manager, said the company’s goal was to bring OCP solutiosn to a wider user base. “Federal civilian and military data center environments can join the ranks of the more efficient data centers in the world, now that Hyve Solutions’ OCP suite of data center solutions has been added to GSA Schedule 70.”

OCP servers are designed to be efficient, inexpensive, and easy to maintain. OCP data centers were built with the goal of maximizing mechanical performance and having efficient thermal and electrical properties.

OCP is kicking off its Open Compute Summit in the Silicon Valley next week. DatacenterDynamics will be covering the summit, so be sure to check our website for news from the world’s first open-source data center design community.
