I don’t understand how Oxide is any different than what VCE attempted to accomplish from a converged infra perspective.

Didn't VCE still use consumer rack computers? All they were was basically a hardware reseller with their own racks. They re-sold Cisco stuff. They just repackaged everyone else's stuff as a value added service.

Disclaimer: I worked for VCE (now Dell/EMC)

VCE used Cisco C2xx and C4xx rackmount and BLxxx blade servers (before the EMC/Dell acquisition). Now, I believe they use all Dell hardware.

They designed and built their own hardware and wrote all their own firmware.
