Grid of seven screenshots from an interactive 3D tour of an illustrated Oxide data hall. Scenes move from a row of black Oxide racks with green sled faceplates and yellow overhead cabling, to close-ups of a compute sled pulled out from the rack, a front-loading storage sled, a network switch drawer, and power shelves with bundled cables. Each frame has a dark panel with a stop title and description, such as Cloud infrastructure in your data center and Storage spans the rack, plus tour controls for Back, Pause, and Next.

With Oxide, your compute gets more valuable over time, not less. The same Rack Model 0 we launched in 2023 now supports more than 2x the vCPUs per rack with our latest compute sleds and system version 21 which adds support for Zen 5c processors.

I was chatting with @withenoughcoffee.bsky.social about @oxide.computer's energy efficiency compared to traditional servers. She mentioned that this should be a bigger deal to the world as we have data centers with inefficient gear consuming more power, generating more heat, and making more noise.
