MangoBoost and WorldTech IT Join OPI Project at OCP Global Summit 2024
- The Open Programmable Infrastructure Project announced the addition of MangoBoost and WorldTech IT at the OCP Global Summit.
- The initiative aims to create a standards-based ecosystem for Data Processing Units and Infrastructure Processing Units to improve data center operations.
- This collaboration signifies a commitment to advancing technology standards and enhancing the efficiency and security of future data centers.
On October 14, 2024, the Open Programmable Infrastructure (OPI) Project announced the addition of two new members, MangoBoost and WorldTech IT, during the OCP Global Summit in San Jose, California. This initiative aims to create a standards-based open ecosystem for next-generation data center architectures utilizing Data Processing Units (DPUs) and Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs). The project emphasizes collaboration among its members to advance open software and standards, facilitating the rapid adoption of DPU/IPU technologies. Venkat Pullela, Chair of the OPI Project Governing Board, highlighted the significance of DPUs and IPUs as foundational elements for future data centers, enhancing efficiency, scalability, and security. MangoBoost's DPU technology is designed to provide cost-effective AI infrastructure, while WorldTech IT focuses on offloading complex networking and security functions to dedicated hardware. The OPI Project will showcase its innovations at the summit, with a presentation scheduled for October 16, discussing the integration of DPUs in enhancing AI security. This collaboration reflects a broader trend in the tech industry towards standardization and innovation in data center technologies, aiming to meet the growing demands for performance and security in computing environments.
