They make giant rack scale computers for data centers, i think that's the best way to explain it quickly to someone with my background who's never been in a data center but has an imaginary idea of what they look like.

And then as a follow up you have to explain that

- they sell an entire rack full of servers

- they're the only ones that do this. Normally you have to buy all the pieces and put it together yourself, or pay someone to put it together for you but all the parts are kind of designed on their own by different companies so it's kind of a mess. Oxide makes one big rack with like 16-32 servers and it's all designed by them and just works, so you just plug it in and you have servers you can put a bunch of vms on. Oh and they're huge, each one literally costs like a million dollars
