When people hear cloud, it means that aspects such as electricity costs, electricity stability, Internet, bandwidth, fire protection, safety, etc etc are abstracted away.
Oxide IS on-premise, right? The website is very vague and wishy-washy.
No cables, except for a few cables.
I think their description conveys what it does just fine for the target audience.
To be super clear about it, this is referring to not needing to cable up all of the individual sleds to the rack upon installation. It doesn't mean that we recommend connecting a rack of compute to your data center via wifi.
The comment you replied to was not questioning the value of integrated cabling. It was pointing out that the product description on the site does not make sense.
"Cloud computer" sounds like a server you rent from AWS. It's kind of like calling Rust "cloud compiler."
If you choose to use words that your audience doesn't understand, or even worse understands to mean the opposite of what you want them to mean, it's a good idea to explain these words immediately using conventional words with conventional meaning. The comments by throw0101a did that.
The product seems really cool, but there is no way I would've understood what it was from the website.
