Oxide says AMD's Turin EPYCs are coming, switch revamp under review, more open hardware in the works
Remember that giant green rack-sized blade server Oxide Computer showed off a couple of years back? Well, the startup is still at it, having raked in $200 million in Series-C funding this week as it prepares to bring a bevy of new hardware to market with updated processing power, memory, and networking.
Founded in 2019 by a gaggle of former Joyent and Sun Microsystems engineers, the company set out to make the rack, not the server, the new unit of compute for the datacenter.
The result was a 7.8-foot-tall, 2,518-pound rack system rated for 15 kW of total power draw that runs a completely custom open source software stack.
