I have been so thirsty to see some hardware from you guys. This is awesome! Would love to see more!

Next time more sled(+hands?), less empty table+background please 😊. Otherwise great to see some of the stuff we've heard so much about in the podcast!

Really interested in this as I've got a huge Cisco UCS B-series infra and I believe each blade (1 chassis has 8 blades) has 80Gbps of connectivity however, each chassis (as connected today) has 80Gbps of connectivity (so obviously each blade isn't able to consume its full BW) and I think we're using 10RU per chassis... Need to see a full BW calc for a full rack and per sled for this but it looks awesome.

Lookit all that space from the connectors to the front. Sooooo much room to move air.

Oh nice, more hardware content! 🤤

Just thinking way ahead (possibly too far ahead). Is there any scope for releasing a test harness or a set of tools to allow larger customers to bench-test equipment when there are issues? Possibly to allow for troubleshooting of a sled outside of the production rack, possibly allowing oxide techs to remote in and do some remote debugging etc? Or is the expectation at that point, you'd just be returning the sled?

always love to see Oxide hardware, and all of Oxide's innovations that PC servers haven't bothered with. next time show off the backplane and DC bus bar!
