The site homepage (rather than the launch announcement) is a bit clearer about their plan: https://oxide.computer/ https://oxide.computer/
> Hyperscaler infrastructure for the rest of us
> Oxide is building a new kind of server.
> True rack-scale design, bringing cloud hyperscale innovations around density, efficiency, cost, reliability, manageability, and security to everyone running on-premises compute infrastructure.
They're building servers, for people who run their own compute infrastructure.
- xwdv 7y agoA better title then would be “Oxide Computer to build servers for compute infrastructures.”
- kick 7y agoThat's far less explanatory.
- xwdv 7y agoWhy? It names the company and what they do and what they sell for. The current title conveys 0 useful information. Don’t know who those people are and a “computer company” could be anything.
- tonyarkles 7y agoThe discussions about the title are interesting to me. I have followed both Jessie and Bryan for years, and seeing their names together and "computer company" got me exceptionally excited!
- xwdv 7y agoIf you don’t know those people, the entire title falls flat. Imagine if it was just some random people starting a computer company, which could be damn near anything.
- rrrx3 7y agoPlenty of people do know who they are. Not anyone's fault but your own that you're under-informed.
- hindsightbias 7y agoLike Nutanix?
