Advisory Panel
The Open Performance Grid (OPG) measures
openness, performance, and leadership of
hardware, software, and designs for
modern data centers.
7/18/15
The OPG is a joint effort
The OPG is also a community effort
with input from:
– Technology Users & Buyers
– Technology Analysts & Researchers
– Technology Provider Self-assessments
Why Open Matters
* Community development fosters innovation
* Security and support options increase
* Open architecture prevents single vendor lock-in
* Open, competitive markets benefit buyers
* Open standards enable market hypergrowth

Measures of openness
Sample Measures of Openness
– Is the product in open-source form
– Is there a foundation?
– Are there one or a few dominant members?
– Size/activity of community

Leadership
Sample Leadership Measures
– Measured by community
– Discussed by analyst panel
– Market share
– Global presence

Worldwide Data Growth
Meanwhile...back at the data center
Current data center usage 11.7 gigawatts
~2% of total US usage
But remember our chart?
2.6 ZB to 5.2ZB in three years
By 2040 = 2^8 = 256X today's data flow!

Global Economy - 2040
Population 9 billion
(~0.9% annual growth rate – total growth 23%))
GDP $150 trillion+
(inc. population growth & 3% annual per capita growth)
Electricity Use 4.6 Terawatts
= 2.3 terawatts or 2,300 gigawatts new power
= 2,300 new plants of 1,000 megawatts
@$4 billion per plant
= $9.2 trillion in new investment
Global Economy - 2040
Population 9 billion
(~0.9% annual growth rate – total growth 23%)
Let's assume
* Developed world population grows 0.5% annually & consumption flat
* China population growth flat & consumption doubles
* Developing world population grows 1.1% annually & consumption triples
Electricity use = 4.8 terawatts
But 2.3 terawatts must be supplied to developing world
Will the world devote $9.2 trillion to the developing world
for electricity development alone?
Even so, that would only bring it to 10-15% of developed world per capita usage

* Precise calculations of what percentage of global
power consumption data centers will demand – and
what percentage of global economics data centers
and the data they handle will drive – are complex.
* The widely divergent state of existing national IT
infrastructures illustrate the point...

Summary Statement
1. Members of the global technology community must
seriously address the issues of power consumption and
overall efficiency.
2. Open technology is the way to address these issues.
3. The OPG is a way to assess, measure, and encourage
progress with respect to these issues.
4. Community input is encouraged and essential.
Next Steps
– Input from Users & Buyers – December 2015
– Create Analyst Panel – December 2015
– Complete the Evaluation Methodology - January 2016
– Release Initial Results – March 2016
Ongoing
- Develop list of community members and contributors
- Work with technology companies on private self-assessments
- Support Stacking IT worldwide
