Compliance

Since it began, the Open Compute Project has been seen as an open source hardware movement, working to create specifications and share designs for lower-cost hardware, without the gratuitous and pricey differentiation introduced by vendors.

OCP’s Interoperability Labs provides certification and confirms conformance to the open source signaling specifications. However their are various questions that have gone unanswered …..

How can software developers be assured that the hardware can perform as claimed by the hardware vendor. How reliable are the hardware vendors performance claims? Can the hardware perform as specified. What is the reliability of the hardware in conjunction with the NOS and the software application ? Can the System Integrator rely on the claims made by the various vendors in assuring their customers of performance goals.

These are great question that have gone unanswered. Unless these questions are definitively answered by the concerned parties the opencompute hardware will not find a place in enterprise data centers in large numbers.

QSolv helps organizations define traverse the mayriad of hardware and software specifications and validate the claims made by various vendors in a controlled environment. Developing an effective Compliance and testing strategy is the primary, and often overlooked, key to a high-performing systems.

We define goals for each engagement and attain each goal through our unique assessments that focus on aligning people, processes, and tools to create flexible and standardized processes.
