Today at the Open Compute Summit V event, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that in the last three years his company has saved a Billion dollars by building out its infrastructure using OpenCompute designs.
“We’ve also saved a lot in terms of the energy consumption,” Zuckerberg said. “In just the last year, we have saved the equivalent amount of energy of 40,000 homes and if we can bring those saving and efficiencies to other companies as well, that’s great.”
