The OTTO Ready hardware programs are intended to serve as a guide for developers, manufacturers and integrators of server, storage and other hardware to facilitate compatibility between their hardware offering(s) and the TMGcore OTTO platform.
By following the guidance within the OTTO Ready Hardware Program Guidelines, the organization will be able to obtain the OTTO Ready™ Hardware status. By developing an OTTO Ready™ Hardware offering, the organization can be assured that their hardware will be adequate for operation within the OTTO platform. Organizations with this status can provide potential and existing customers the assurance that their hardware is ready to provide an exceptional consumer experience within the OTTO platform.
OTTO Ready™ HydroBlades
The OTTO Ready™ HydroBlades include the server, storage or other hardware devices thatare designed or at least able to be cooled by the OTTO platform’s immersion cooling mechanism. These offerings will be installed into compatible OTTO units by end users and will be monitored and managed via the OTTOmanager platform.

OTTO Ready™ Hardware
OTTO Optimized
With the OTTO Optimized status, the hardware has been optimized to take advantage of the full benefits of the OTTO platform. These blades have either been designed in collaboration with TMGcore or designed and constructed in accordance with TMGcore’s recommended standards and fully utilizes the immersion cooling capabilities provided by the OTTO platform. A version of the hardware offering, which will be delivered in a standard OIU form factor and ready for immersion within an OTTO unit, can be ordered directly through the manufacturer or its authorized distributors.
OTTO Ready™ Hardware
Native Compatibility
With the Native Compatibility status, the hardware offering is fully compatible with all aspects of the OTTO platform and can be ordered, either directly through the manufacturer or its authorized distributors. A version of the hardware offering will be delivered in a standard OIU form factor and ready for immersion within an OTTO unit.
OTTO Ready™ Hardware
Full Compatibility
With the Full Compatibility status, the hardware offering is fully compatible with all aspects of the OTTO platform. It can be installed into a standard OTTO HydroBlade "1 OIU" form factor chassis, powered by the HydroBlade power system, communicate via the standard HydroBlade high speed data system, and be fully managed via the HydroBlade management interface. Some degree of transfer or other modification is required after it is delivered to the customer to place the hardware into a standard 1 OIU HydroBlade.
OTTO Ready™ Hardware
Basic Compatibility
With the Basic Compatibility status, the hardware offering can be incorporated into the standard OTTO HydroBlade 1 OIU form factor, but some features, functionality or usability of the hardware offering may be limited from its standard form factor. All components of the offering are compatible with an immersion environment and safe for operation within the OTTO platform. Some degree of transfer or other modification is required after it is delivered to the customer to place the hardware into a standard 1 OIU HydroBlade. There may be limitations with respect to the high speed data system or ability of the device to be managed via the standard HydroBlade management interface. External tools or other requirements on the part of the end user may be needed to ensure the safe and proper operation of the hardware offering.
OTTO Ready™ Components
OTTO Ready™ Components are hardware offerings, such as peripheral components, that are designed or cooled by the OTTO platform’s immersion cooling mechanism. These offerings will be installed into compatible OTTOblades, either by the manufacturer or the end user, and utilized in compatible OTTO units.

OTTO Ready™ Hardware Devices
OTTO Ready™ Hardware Devices are hardware offerings that are designed to enhance or support the capabilities of the OTTO platform or other OTTO Ready™ Hardware installed therein, but are not themselves designed or able to be cooled by the OTTO platform’s immersion cooling mechanism. Instead, these servers will be housed either within an OTTO unit’s integrated air cooled server cabinet, or elsewhere within the end user’s infrastructure. These offerings will either have their monitoring and management capabilities directly integrated within the OTTOmanager platform, or will facilitate the integration of the OTTOmanager capabilities into their own interfaces or services.
