> This honestly looks simple enough that a developer/DevOps team could manage it. With the other 'hyperconverged' infrastructure offerings you will still need a dedicated team of trained ops professionals to manage it.

That seems like the best explanation of the value here I've heard so far! I could definitely see a number of SMBs whose use cases are expensive in AWS/etc and would be a good fit for a few racks in a datacenter, but who don't want the cost of a team to manage them. If this significantly lowers the skill threshold necessary to run servers in a datacenter, I could see that being a huge value prop.
