- Dive into the future of computing with our latest video! We're exploring Oxide's HQ and taking a first look at the underlying technology like the groundbreaking ARM system controller, which REPLACES traditional system BIOS. Check out these amazing AMD EPYC systems.
Oxide gave Jordan a hands-on teardown to take a look at some of their production and development hardware.

Really looking forward to Oxide changes making it back into Illumos - OmniOS as my next homelab hypervisor?
Those are some FABULOUS hands 💅
insane!
very cool, can you actually buy that whole system? Their site only seems to deploy images/vms
Edit: thx everyone for your comments. Very cool
Oxide is shipping the whole rack at the moment. This is something you buy as a total appliance, not like a single 2u system, so it has to have all of the rack infrastructure. They have hinted at a roadmap of smaller formfactors than the big boy, but that is not in the near future. -Jordan
It's a private cloud hyperscaler so the system hosts VMs/Containers. Oxide doesn't host anything themselves. They sell hardware and the control plane
@@StorageReview I don't get it... What OS does an Oxide cloud run? OpenStack? What OS on each node? Is it all open source?
There's only one thing I care about in that setup: the Helios OS.
much CeraVe i sees. also nice beard
Very Yummy!
First
Vendor Lock, Smart
You do have vendor lock-in, but not by design, since pretty much all of their stuff is open source. The reason for it is simply that these are not IBM PCs at their core, practically everything about the computer architecture that could be redesigned from first principles in a comprehensive way, has been. Just the fact that they can boot a modern AMD x86 without a proprietary BIOS or UEFI is a miracle.
@@coolbugfacts1234 BIOS was never there to boot the CPU, the CPU ran BIOS code to initialize the rest of the hardware on the motherboard. And yes, BIOS was always PC-bucket garbage.
