Here us how I understood this and Steve's post was actually more helpful in this than previous announcements. Big cloud and infra companies (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook) have the resources to build computers, customized for the work in the cloud on the cheap. As a company that is not one of them, you can either buy their cloud offering (paying hefty premium) or choose to build your infra yourself, using run-of-the-mill Dell servers or the like, but then all these customizations will not be available to you or will not be available for the reasonable price. Oxide is the company that wants to offer servers customized for cloud work to everyone. Whether they will actually ship it to you for you to install in your DC or they will have their own DC - remains to be seen.
