Anyone willing to disclose minimum pricing? Are we talking tens of thousands? Hundreds? I hate when people say, 'If you have to ask, you can't afford it.' Pleas

Anyone willing to disclose minimum pricing? Are we talking tens of thousands? Hundreds? I hate when people say, 'If you have to ask, you can't afford it.' Please don't be that guy.

- brucepink 3y agoIf you compare an 0xide rack with a standard combo of Dl380s, Nexus switches, netapp filers and Vmware licences, and look at the specs page - “ 1024TB of raw storage in NVMe” - there’s no way this is tens of thousands and I’d be a bit surprised if it was in the hundreds either.
- sgt 3y agoYou're saying this rack might cost a million dollars?
- dijit 3y agoa half rack netapp filer can be a half-million dollars by itself.
- sethhochberg 3y agoI’d say there’s certainly a chance based on the specs being quoted. If we do some very rough back-of-napkin math and figure enterprise grade NVMe storage is something like $100 per TB, that’s plausibly $100k on storage drives alone
- wmf 3y agoBased on the components I'm guessing a half million.
- jamiek88 3y agoBased on the components I’d say that’s the build cost not price!
- shrubble 3y ago32x EPYC servers, figure $10K/server on a base config = $320,000 . Add in what appears to be, 2x 100Gb Ethernet switches, the 100Gbps NICs, cabling, other rack hardware; service processors that allow you to control the servers, whatever amount of NVME drives, etc. Assembly, burn in, test etc. My guess is that a base config would be somewhere between $400K to $500K but could very definitely go up from there for a completely "loaded" config.
