If you compare an 0xide rack with a standard combo of Dl380s, Nexus switches, netapp filers and Vmware licences, and look at the specs page - “ 1024TB of raw storage in NVMe” - there’s no way this is tens of thousands and I’d be a bit surprised if it was in the hundreds either.

You're saying this rack might cost a million dollars?

I’d say there’s certainly a chance based on the specs being quoted. If we do some very rough back-of-napkin math and figure enterprise grade NVMe storage is something like $100 per TB, that’s plausibly $100k on storage drives alone

a half rack netapp filer can be a half-million dollars by itself.
