Facebook's entire blob storage and data warehouse (multi-exabyte) is run completely on OCP storage hardware built by ODMs, of which Quanta is included. Anyone telling you that we don't use OCP is grossly misinformed.

Source: I was on the blob storage team when we migrated all of our data from OCP's gen1 storage design [1] to the new gen2 storage design [2].

Well, then it is.

What do you use for regular servers these day?


More OCP hardware (or designs that will eventually be contributed to OCP), in many different SKUs depending on use case. This page lists most of the current-gen hardware that I am aware of:
