Formal Experience Center Program
The OCP Experience Center Program is designed to help engineers, adopters and channel providers.
For engineers, OCP Experience Centers provide an environment for developing and showcasing new concepts that are often pre-product prototypes, where they can validate new hardware designs, develop and test software, and conduct interoperability testing. For adopters, the OCP Experience Center helps them understand the benefits of OCP-recognized equipment, showcase a new use case to attract the vendor community, build business cases around specific use cases, and reduce their perception of risk with exposure to new equipment and facilities.
System integrators and colocation providers are able to position themselves as thought leaders and establish a trusted advisor relationship with clients.
