Do you think there's at least a place for a holistic system that's not a whole rack? Or do you think that those of us with smaller computing needs will just have to either rent from a hyperscaler or put up with PC servers?

Part of the challenge is that it really does require diverging from the reference designs (as these have effectively enshrined a proprietary BMC and everything that comes with it) -- and once you are away from reference designs, you are talking about a very different economic proposition. This is part of why we are so transparent and open about everything we're doing: our hope is that we can enable others to pick up the baton and serve those markets that we do not intend to address.
