About White Box Servers
A white box server is customized servers that are either home built, or built by white box suppliers called ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) such as Supermicro. Various parts are purchased separately which helps cut costs as well as provides hobbyists and data center professionals alike more customization to better fit their needs. White box servers are easier to design for custom business requirements and can offer improved functionality at a relatively cheaper cost meeting an organization’s operational needs. The servers are increasingly being used by the Open Computer Project (OCP) which was developed by Facebook
