What OpenYard does

OpenYard is a Russian server hardware manufacturer specializing in enterprise 19" rack servers and Open Compute Project (OCP)-inspired 21" compute nodes. Its portfolio spans the RS101I, RS102I, RS201I, RS202I, and RS202A enterprise servers, OCP compute nodes (HN201I, HN203I), storage arrays (HD232), and GPU accelerator platforms (HG402, RG4D4A, RG4D4I). The company is headquartered in Moscow with R&D operations and operates a dedicated manufacturing facility in Ryazan Oblast — an 8-hectare site with a 7,000 m² first module, SMT/DIP/assembly lines, and stated annual capacity of 60,000+ server units. All PCBs, expansion cards, and thermal modeling are designed in-house, and the company controls the full stack from board design to functional testing.

The technology stack includes proprietary firmware developed in-house — OYBoot and Vireon/Centaurus BIOS/UEFI implementations and the OYBMC baseboard management controller built on OpenBMC — both registered in the Russian software registry (Minitsifry). Multiple server families are registered in the Minpromtorg industrial products registry, qualifying them for government procurement and critical infrastructure projects. A proprietary free-cooling system enables server operation at +40°C without dedicated chiller infrastructure, reducing data center OPEX. OpenYard holds 51 software compatibility certifications covering Russian operating systems, virtualization platforms, hyperconverged infrastructure, and backup solutions.

OpenYard generates revenue through direct server hardware sales, tiered service subscriptions (Basic, Standard, Extended, Premium with 8–72 hour SLAs), firmware licensing, and contract manufacturing services. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a three-tier partner program (Partner, Specialist, Expert), 353+ technology partners and 5 authorized partners across all Russian federal districts, and three national distributors (CompTek, OCS Distribution, Axoft). Target customers include telecom operators, SMBs, large enterprises, hyperscalers/BigTech, and government/public-sector buyers across Russia.
