"We hope to increase the pace of innovation in data centers," said Frank Frankovsky, the director of technical operations at Facebook and a member the Open Compute Foundation's board.
Over the last few years, we've seen the launch of a number of open source foundations like the Cloud Native Compute Foundation, the Cloud Foundry Foundation and others.
They spearheaded the creation of the Open Compute Foundation, which has emerged as a force in open-sourcing not just the servers but most recently the network, too.
Here's some unusual news: the Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) today announced that it has acquired the RethinkDB copyright and assets, including its code, and contributed it to The Linux Foundation.
It launched the Open Compute Project Foundation, which is an organization created by Facebook to help share these designs.
According to the organization's mission statement, "The Open Compute Project Foundation is a rapidly growing community of engineers around the world whose mission is to design and enable the delivery of the most efficient server, storage and data center hardware designs for scalable computing".
Project Olympus, the re-imagined collaboration model and the way they're bringing it to market, is unprecedented in the history of OCP and open source datacenter hardware," said Bill Carter, the Chief Technology Officer of the Open Compute Project Foundation, in a statement today.
Trustless computing is the foundation to reach a consensus in a decentralized blockchain system.
When put together, the combined and continuous use of fog and cloud computing, lays the foundation for a new and highly heterogeneous computing ecosystem, making the most out of both, cloud and fog.
