A reference design is a professionally developed blueprint that provides a proven, ready-to-use solution for a specific technology, product or system. It typically includes detailed schematics, layout files and comprehensive documentation to guide designers and engineers through the development process, reducing time-to-market and minimizing risk. By leveraging reference designs, data center owners can accelerate product development, ensure best practices and achieve reliable performance—all while focusing their resources on differentiation and innovation.
