48 around the world and the rise of the public cloud have all had profound impacts on the way that data centres approach server architecture .
For example , the modern hyperscale data centre uses a much more bare bones approach to server design . According to Bill Carter , CTO of the Open Compute Project , “ You had the opportunity to strip things down to just what you need , and make it specific to your application . We stripped out video connectors , because there ’ s no video monitor . There ’ s no blinking lights because there ’ s no one walking the racks . There ’ s no screws .” Carter explained in an interview that , on average , one server in a hyperscale centre takes up the same amount of space as 3.75 servers in a conventional data centre .
