The Open Compute Project’s (OCP) Call for Collaboration on AI Data Center Infrastructure Standards marks a major milestone, setting the foundation for standardizing the physical backbone of the AI revolution. As hyperscalers, chipmakers, and colocation providers unite to address interoperability in power, cooling, mechanical design, and telemetry, the industry is taking vital steps toward greater efficiency, scalability, and sustainability.
Yet data center standardization alone will not sustain this transformation. The parallel requirement is financial infrastructure. The systems and instruments that enable enterprises to price, benchmark, hedge, and finance the core resources powering the AI economy: power, compute, and cooling capacity. This is where InfraX™ enters the picture.
Purpose-built for the AI economy, InfraX is advancing a unified market coordination and risk management framework for digital infrastructure, bringing the same discipline, transparency, and efficiency to compute that traditional exchanges brought to commodities like oil, agriculture, and metals.
The OCP’s 2025 Global Summit announcement reflects the precise convergence InfraX was designed to support: the growing need for standardization, transparency, and market coordination across the infrastructure layer of AI and cloud.
OCP’s open letter highlights a persistent structural gap:
While OCP’s initiatives advance engineering and design collaboration, they do not yet address the financial dimension — the pricing, risk management, and capital allocation mechanisms required to support a truly global and efficient AI infrastructure market.
InfraX aims to bridge energy providers, data centers, enterprises, and utilities through a transparent market coordination platform, aligning cost, capacity, and demand as AI workloads surge worldwide. A key part of that vision is to establish benchmarking standards and pricing indices for critical inputs such as compute yield and availability, power efficiency, and cooling utilization, transforming what is today an opaque procurement process into a data-informed and risk-aware market framework.
Importantly, InfraX natively supports the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), the emerging open standard for telemetry collection. This ensures that technical data — from utilization and efficiency metrics to workload demand — can seamlessly inform financial models, risk scoring, and future price discovery. It’s a direct bridge between technical interoperability and financial transparency, two sides of the same transformation OCP is driving.
OCP unites the technical stakeholders: hyperscalers, OEMs, and data center builders. InfraX unites the financial stakeholders: investors, insurers, traders, and regulators.
Together, we can create a holistic model for AI infrastructure standardization and governance, where OTLP data fuels transparent economics, and where standardization is paired with the financial instruments required for scalable, sustainable growth.
By aligning with OCP’s Open Systems for AI initiative, InfraX can serve as the emerging price discovery and risk management layer for standardized AI infrastructure, ensuring that tomorrow’s data centers are not just interoperable, but also financially governable, investable, and resilient.
