Server racks which are vertically integrated and provide great cooling, are quiet, and fully vertically integrated software (including bootloaders, hypervisor, etc. -- no BIOS!).

This includes everything from the rack itself to the PDU/switch/BMC, to the actual server blade and its chassis.

All presented in a nice package to give you a on-prem cloud-like experience.

And this is hosted in an Oxide datacenter or shipped to the customer?

    shipped to the customer

    you buy one or more of the data-centre-rack-sized computers, hook em up to each other / your datacentre network, and you now have essentially a cloud services platform like AWS/Azure, in your own datacentre, under your control, with full visibility of what every part of the platform is doing (hypervisor, underlying bare metal kernel, firmware, bootloader, etc), because it's ALL open source, written from the ground up by them

    I think it's pretty neat!
