• Barracuda Urges Replacing – Not Patching – Its Email Security Gateways

  A lot of questions in there! Taking these in order:

  1. We aren't making standalone servers: the Oxide compute sled comes in the Oxide rack. So are not (and do not intend to be) a drop in replacement for extant rack mounted servers.

  2. We have taken a fundamentally different approach to firmware, with a true root of trust that can attest to the service processor -- which can turn attest to the system software. This prompts a lot of questions (e.g., who attests to the root of trust?), and there is a LOT to say about this; look for us to talk a lot more about this

  3. In stark contrast (sadly) to nearly everyone else in the server space, the firmware we are developing is entirely open source. More details on that can be found in Cliff Biffle's 2021 OSFC talk and the Hubris and Humility repos.[0][1][2]

  4. Definitely not vaporware! We are in the process of shipping to our first customers; you can follow our progress in our Oxide and Friends podcast.[3]

  It's a mix of embedded work and improving the system's tooling (faster builds, debugger support, etc)

  In addition to Cliff's talk/blog -- which are absolutely outstanding -- I would recommend listening to the Twitter Space we did on Hubris and Humility last week.[0] It was a really fun conversation, and it also serves as a bit of a B-side for the talk in that it goes into some of the subtler details that we feel are important, but didn't quite rise to the level of the presentation. And of course, be sure to check out the source itself![1][2]
