We have talked quite a bit about what it's like to be making hardware as a startup in our Oxide and Friends podcast[0] -- and one might be especially interested in the Q&A we did on Monday[1] after our launch got quite a bit of attention here on HN.[2]

I don't really understand what they're making and what differentiates their product. Is it a private cloud but designed so you can just drop it in place and turn it on instead of having to set up the cloud?

It's server racks with basically iLO on steroids.

To be fair, simply being server a company that's easy to deal with is enough of a differentiator in this space. Would absolutely blindly buy from them just to avoid having to deal with HPE/Dell

I understood that company to be Supermicro, though I've never dealt with them so I could be wrong.

I'm in the server business (within a very specific niche). I wish I could find more people like you.

Basically my dream job
