Open Compute Project

Open Compute Project is an initiative announced on April 2011 by Facebook to openly share custom data center designs to improve efficiency across the industry.^[1] The level of openness is unprecedented since companies that custom design their data centers tend to want to keep their designs a closely held corporate secret.^{[citation needed]}
