The first Oxide rack being prepared for customer shipment!
We raised a $200M Series C, now we're putting it to work.
New compute sleds with the latest AMD EPYC CPUs are coming. We're working with Xsight Labs on next-gen switch silicon to eventually replace Tofino 2 and provide an open instruction set archiecture (ISA), a major leap forward for enterprise networking.
