Facebook's entire blob storage and data warehouse (multi-exabyte) is run completely on OCP storage hardware built by ODMs, of which Quanta is included. Anyone telling you that we don't use OCP is grossly misinformed.
Source: I was on the blob storage team when we migrated all of our data from OCP's gen1 storage design [1] to the new gen2 storage design [2].

- baybal2 8y agoWell, then it is. What do you use for regular servers these day?
- nuclear_eclipse 8y agoMore OCP hardware (or designs that will eventually be contributed to OCP), in many different SKUs depending on use case. This page lists most of the current-gen hardware that I am aware of: https://www.opencompute.org/contributions?refinementList%5Bcontributor%5D%5B0%5D=Facebook&refinementList%5Bfamily%5D%5B0%5D=OpenRack%20v2&refinementList%5Baccept_year%5D=&refinementList%5Bproject%5D%5B0%5D=Server&page=1&configure%5BfacetFilters%5D%5B0%5D=archived%3Afalse https://www.opencompute.org/contributions?refinementList%5Bc...
