summary
Explains why Facebook open‑sources Open Compute designs, citing a 38% efficiency gain and a 24% cost improvement from jointly optimizing software, servers and the data center; says Rackspace and Goldman Sachs adopt or evaluate the specs and even contribute IP; describes practical choices — building hardware into other data centers for testing, tuning software against the platform — and organizational practices that preserve startup speed: companywide engineering boot camp and a “hacker month” rotation policy.
