As a member of the Product Assurance team at @oxidecomputer, I want to run a LOT of Oxide environments; the more rack-like, the better. Check out my blog on Voxel + sp-emu (Cortex M7+M33 emulation), both open source. https://t.co/zvBvx1TM5p
The CPU has a reference clock signal that needs to be sent to all the PCIe devices in the server so they can agree to stay in sync and transmit PCIe data correctly. The PCIe clock buffer is like a splitter that lets you take that CPU signal and distribute it to more devices like SSDs and the network card.
We first backed @oxidecomputer at the seed stage in 2019, and today we're proud to lead its $445M Series D.
What started as a bold vision is now a profitable business with demand outpacing supply.
This is what building from idea to industrial scale looks like.

Hey @sdtuck@bcantrill check this out 👀
In all seriousness @oxidecomputer is a cool experiment where marketing (and everyone else) is paid the same as the CEO
Also, we’re hiring for some great roles

When Oxide was an early idea, I wound up in several conversations with investors about it. The bet was always a good one: that what enterprises will want is to own the compute layer, and that great software married to great hardware unlocks it.
It's the kind of bet that venture capital is made for. If they're right, Oxide can win in a huge market that's grown fat and happy, and provides systems everyone hates to work with - it can be a huge company. If they're wrong, well - it goes to zero and burns a lot of capital as it goes down.
Not every investor could see it - sometimes because they didn't like the bet, sometimes because it didn't fit their own investment thesis, sometimes because the idea of building real world things was too much. But Bryan and Steve could see it, and they found the folks who could, and the proof is here: a profitable new enterprise hardware company, growing its own at-scale manufacturing.
It makes me proud of my friends who built it, and it's the kind of success that makes me glad I choose to make a career building venture backed startups. Sometimes the good ones win!

Not rent, not lease, not something you can't inspect or understand. Comes out of the crate ready to deploy w/ Terraform, Packer, K8s, etc in a couple hours.
@eatsmokedmeat Minimum ~$100k in core services like EC2, EBS, Network egress, etc on workloads that you could move. Of course, it gets even more compelling at higher spend.
