WAXAHACHIE, Texas, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Americase, a leading manufacturer of protective containers for hazmat and high value goods, is proud to announce its membership in the Open Compute Project (OCP). This strategic collaboration reflects Americase’s commitment to driving innovation and sustainability in the data center industry.
“We are excited to get involved with the OCP Rack & Power Project and contribute our expertise in creating sustainable, durable, and efficient protective packaging,” said Robby Kinsala, CEO of Americase.
Americase has a product lineup of solutions custom-engineered to meet the specific needs of data centers and their OEM partners. Starting with their shipping and storage cases for lithium-ion rack level battery backup units (BBU) in 2021, this year Americase has launched its Li-Ion Battery Storage Cabinet – a versatile mobile unit designed for optimal in-house thermal containment that exceeds IFC24 storage requirements, followed by Li-Ion Battery Transport and Thermal Containment Cart – engineered for easy and safe movement of battery inventory within the facility and provide safe storage and shipping of DDR batteries.
The OCP Rack & Power Project focuses on rack standards that are designed for data centers, integrating the rack into the data center infrastructure, part of the Open Compute Project’s “grid to gates” philosophy, a holistic design process that considers the interdependence of everything from the power grid to the gates in the chips on each motherboard.
“We aim to collaborate with OCP and other innovative organizations in developing reusable, robust, scalable, and carbon-reducing packaging and rack handling solutions to meet the evolving needs of data centers worldwide,” said Chris Egloff, VP of Strategic Business Opportunities for the Lithium/Hazmat Division at Americase.
As a Community Member, Americase looks forward to actively engaging in OCP initiatives, sharing insights, and contributing to projects that will enhance the development of safe and sustainable packaging solutions that promote efficiency, scalability, and environmental responsibility in the data center industry.
