Not Oxide or Bluesky, but firstly I'd suggest that asking the company about their customers is unlikely to get a response, most companies don't disclose their customers. Secondly, Bluesky have been growing quickly, I can only assume their hardware is too, and that means long lead time products like an Oxide rack aren't going to work, especially when you can have an off the shelf machine from Dell delivered in a few days.

> most companies dont disclose their customers In my head I'm imagining an average landing page. They slap their customers on there like stickers. I doubt bluesky would stay secretive about using oxide if they did

  Those customers listed on the front page of companies are there as part of an agreement. Usually something like a discount. Certainly they are not listed without permission. 10x that if it is a case study.

    I think they often are listed without permission unfortunately, and often literally based on on the the email addresses of people signing up for a trial. I see my company's logo on the landing page of many products that we don't use or may even have a policy preventing our use of.

Oxide is very open, we are happy to talk about customers that allow us to talk about them. Some don’t want to, others are very happy to be mentioned, just like any other company.

  > we are happy to talk about customers that allow us to talk about them This is what I meant by "don't disclose", I didn't mean that Oxide was in any way secretive, but that usually this stuff doesn't get agreed, and that it would make more sense to ask the customer rather than the company selling as Oxide won't want to disclose unless there's already an agreement in place (formal or otherwise).

    Gotcha. That totally makes sense, I would t have thought about it that way.
