Their hardware isn't really innovative though... Even the hardware integration isn't really innovative, as others here have pointed out.
My two cents is that this isn't really an innovation business model, it's an execution business model. Their proposition seems to be that they can execute a a server rack with integrated hardware and open-source software so well that customers will love their product.
Maybe they'll just end up with tons of nerds our there thinking, "I really wish I could justify investing in Oxide racks, but it just doesn't make sense for my business / I just can't sell it to my CIO", but hey, maybe not!
- latchkey 3y agoSolution looking for a problem.
- sanderjd 3y agoYou are doing the low-brow dismissal thing. It's better to just think to yourself: "this doesn't seem like a useful product to me, I don't understand why people find it interesting, oh well", and move on.
- latchkey 3y agoNo, I'm taking all of your words and distilling it down to a common saying. I actually do think what they are doing is innovative across the board. They are taking all of the common feedback anyone who has run large scale data centers (which I have) and applying it to a brand new product. Unfortunately, they are doing it in a way that is extremely vendor specific. `import { Api } from "@oxide/api"` No, thanks. `Understand and debug issues faster` How is this any different than throwing Netdata onto a server? They've got 231 repos in github...
