Our server sleds don't have a BIOS/UEFI, it's a radical decision but it's part of a first-principles approach to security that along with our hardware root of trust and trust quorum ensures that the entire rack-level computer is securely attested to, not just individual components: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEy0VKSFnO0

2/ every layer of the stack, in every choice that we made in building this computer differently from anything else you can own on prem.

Unlike traditional servers, our power shelf takes care of all power conversion and passes DC current throughout the rack via a bus bar, that every sled plugs into. Simple and efficient, so you can supercharge your business (sorry, couldn’t help it 😅).

1/ When we built the Oxide Cloud Computer, we wanted to rectify (no pun intended!) a major issue with traditional servers: power supply + efficiency.

Legacy infrastructure is wildly inefficient - each traditional server is individually plugged into power supplies converting AC to DC. It’s a lot of cables, mess, and waste.

At Oxide, we’re finally bringing the same kind of efficiencies harnessed by major public cloud providers on prem, accessible to everyone. That ethos is reflected in (cont)

Oxide- efficiency you can hear! It's unreal how much quieter 32 Oxide sleds are vs just two commodity servers. All that noise is your power and cooling budget being burned up by tiny, screaming fans in inefficient legacy servers, let us show you a better way!

We support the OpenTF efforts to assure an open source Terraform. Like other signatories, our preference is for HashiCorp to revert to MPLv2 for Terraform -- but we support a fork if it is the only path to keeping Terraform open source. Our full statement:

Today on Oxide and Friends, @ahl and @bcantrill will be joined by @mjk to talk about the network behind the network in the Oxide rack: a second, (relatively) lower speed network that connects the service processors in the machine. Matt will regale with details of implementing it all -- including (of course?) interfacing with an 8051 that we didn't know that we had!
