What is an OCP NIC?

A software-defined NIC.

Open Compute Project form-factor NIC module optimized for density, serviceability, and airflow.

An OCP NIC is a hardware standard from the Open Compute Project for a NIC module. It describes a form-factor NIC that plugs into Open Compute-compatible servers and is designed to maximize density, make servicing easier (often hot-swappable), and optimize airflow for better cooling in the chassis. It’s about the physical hardware design and interoperability, not software-defined networking or a GPU accelerator, and it isn’t something called an “Open PC NIC.” That makes the best description the form-factor NIC module optimized for density, serviceability, and airflow.
