What is LayerZero®?
LayerZero® is the trademarked brand name of power distribution products designed and manufactured by LayerZero Power Systems, Inc. The name LayerZero is inspired by the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, where Layer 0 represents the foundation layer responsible for power delivery.
LayerZero®: The Foundation Layer
LayerZero® refers to the "Foundation Layer" of power distribution products and processes designed to ensure the reliability and safety of the entire power distribution system in mission-critical facilities such as data centers. LayerZero provides the critical infrastructure that supports the physical layer, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery to critical equipment.
Inspiration from the OSI Model
The term "LayerZero" was coined by the founders of LayerZero Power Systems in 2001. The name is derived from the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model, which provides a standardized architecture for computer network communications. The OSI model consists of seven layers, each specifying a particular network function. LayerZero represents the bottommost layer of the OSI model, responsible for the physical transmission of power.

LayerZero in the OSI Model: Powering Every Layer of Communication
The OSI model is a conceptual model that describes how data is exchanged between computers on a network. It consists of seven layers, each performing a specific function. LayerZero, as the foundational layer for power distribution, plays a vital role in providing a reliable and secure power supply to all other layers within the OSI model.
As the bottommost layer of the OSI model, LayerZero ensures that power distribution is ultra-reliable, safe, information-centric, and highly connected. By delivering robust power system infrastructure, LayerZero sets the foundation for seamless communication and data transfer across the network.
LayerZero's Responsibilities in the OSI Model:
- Layer 1 (Physical Layer): Providing a solid grounding infrastructure for the network.
- Layer 2 (Data Link Layer): Ensuring reliable and secure connections between devices.
- Layer 3 (Network Layer): Supporting the flow of data across the network.
- Layer 4 (Transport Layer): Ensuring a power distribution system that is safe, reliable, and highly available.
- Layer 5 (Session Layer): Providing reliable power infrastructure to establish, maintain, and terminate connections between applications running on different devices.
- Layer 6 (Presentation Layer): Ensuring the integrity of data being transmitted across the network.
- Layer 7 (Application Layer): Supporting the various applications and services that run on the network.
With LayerZero, organizations can establish a solid power distribution foundation that supports the smooth operation of the higher layers of the OSI model, contributing to overall network performance and reliability.
