About Us
Our Story
OpenSFF was created to address common IT challenges such as short hardware lifecycles, complex setups, and vendor lock-in.
Our approach is to define open, vendor-neutral specifications that hardware vendors, system integrators, and the community can adopt and build upon.
With openness and hardware longevity at our core, we're building a foundation where hardware integration is seamless, servicing becomes practical, and innovation thrives across the ecosystem.
Our Principles
Our principles guide every specification we publish, ensuring that OpenSFF hardware remains practical, interoperable, and future-ready.
Built to Last
Design hardware for long-term use with modularity, precise specifications, and efficient resource use in mind.
Open, Not Locked-in
Support innovation across vendors and CPU platforms while preventing lock-in.
Serviceable by Design
Make upgrades, repairs, and deployments simple and reliable for integrators, IT teams, and enthusiasts.
Scalable & Sustainable
Ensure specifications work seamlessly, from desktops to server racks, reducing waste and extending hardware lifecycles.
