Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABTE and an industry leader in high-performance servers, server motherboards, and workstations, today announced a new generation of GIGABYTE enterprise products that follow the Open Compute Project (OCP) Open Rack Version 3 (ORV3) standards. Supporting the latest CPU advancements on both x86 and ARM platforms, these new solutions have been designed for open, scalable, and efficient designs that are used in a wide range of deployments from small data centers to hyperscalers. The new generation of GIGABYTE enterprise products will begin with compute and storage nodes based on ORV3 standards, in addition to a new rack and multi-node tray. Some notable modifications to the new version of open rack standards include supporting greater power density that is up to 30kW/rack with a new single 48 V busbar and advanced cooling options such as direct liquid cooling (DLC). Data centers have greater options thanks to the expanding GIGABYTE server portfolio for next gen processor technology.

Evolving with modern demands, the new OCP standard reduces current draw and conduction losses. Power distribution in ORV1 relied on three 12 V busbars, but that design was superseded by ORV2 with a single 12 V busbar. However, as rack power density has the grabbed attention of data centers, a new single 48 V busbar solution has become the latest standard. Incorporating the 48 V busbar and greater rack compatibility and integration, the new GIGABYTE DO22-ST0 is a 42OU rack that has up to both 18OU and 20OU of usable rack space above and below the included 1U power shelf, which supports up to 15kW from a 5+1 power supply configuration, and three sets of switch trays.
