"no cables no assembly just cloud" is completely misleading to any kind of people - tech or marketing or not.

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.

It is on premise. You interact with the rack the same way you interact with the public cloud: as a pool of resources. The specifics are abstracted away. “Private cloud” is pretty well established terminology in this space, and that’s what we’re doing.
