As someone who has been attempting to smash computers together into 'hyperconverged infrastructure' since before Y2K, I could not be happier for the buzz around Oxide; hopefully we'll see smaller scale versions of the concept out soon -- something in the 3-10 node size for SMB and/or a small scale-out system for SOHO. It seems insane to me that the tech to do this with off the shelf free software exists, but there's no way to buy it ready to go at small scale. Go get a quote for an HCI vmware buildout and DISMAY.
