- hn72774 2y agoAre you referring to the hardware cost vs operating cost? Or how the units are financed?
- idiotsecant 2y agoThat's what it means. Some things are expensive to buy, some things are expensive to run, and some things are both.
- hn72774 2y agoThe terms in that context are fixed cost vs variable cost. CapEx vs OpEx deals with how the equipment is managed financially. Buy vs lease/rent/IAAS. Good examples here https://centersquaredc.com/blog/choosing-the-best-data-center-strategy-is-capex-or-opex-right-for-you https://centersquaredc.com/blog/choosing-the-best-data-cente...
- tuatoru 2y agocapex = capital expenditure; opex = operational expenditure. There's some theorem about investments that says it doesn't matter how they are financed. A good one is good, and a bad one is bad, whether or not you use debt.
- actinium226 2y agoI'll bet you I can find a way to finance a good deal that turns it into a bad one. The other way around seems harder.
- marcosdumay 2y ago> it doesn't matter how they are financed If you have spherical banks in a vacuum, you can simply follow "capital_opex = capex * interest_rate" and then "profit = revenue - total_opex". But things tend to not work that way on practice.
