according to the website for oxide theyre "Hardware, with the software baked in" so I'm worried this is going to be more like Cisco's hamfisted UCS platform or dell/HP lock in with drac and ilo and "hyperconverged" embedded Java fuckery that can never be patched.
- sokoloff 4y agoI’ve been relatively satisfied with HP’s iLO offering, in that it’s been sufficient for my needs, avoids many pointless fly/drives to the colo (or dealing with the comic misnomer that is “smart hands”), and is still getting the occasional update on 8-year old servers. Even for servers in my building, I find it’s more convenient than a crash cart for most things (and of course my desk is a better work environment).
