I think the idea is that, in fact, you do.

Not one-time cost, but rather TCO.

You get a fully auditable hardware and software BOM, and you get an air-gapped, API-driven, on-prem cloud.

You still have a fairly large up front cost ($600k base in 2023ish numbers, probably over $1M now?), and an ongoing support subscription.

  • I think it’s fair to assume the idea is for it to eventually be more cost effective than other solutions as they scale up.

    • I've never been under the impression that is the case.

      They are filling a niche no one else is for a small pool of fish with virtually endless pockets.
