Hopefully it will be the the first to offer the much cheaper AMD Ryzen/Naples, too.
Any idea on Naples timeframe for retail? I'm hoping to build a small workstation in a few months and 32 cores sounds like it might let me browse hacker news faster.

#192Hahaha. Meanwhile I've been running 2 machines with Skylake and a combined 24 cores/48 threads, 256GB DDR4, 6x512G SSDs, unmetered 1Gbit/s public and 2,5Gbit/s internal for over half a year for a combined $150 total, in complete privacy and in full control of my hosts.. go dedicated, people.
As another has said, who is your vendor? I'm sure they would like some more customers :)

Almost none. Put CoreOS on both, pull yourself a HA database and install Rancher which creates a ipsec network overlay (both hosts), set up your containers on both hosts, set up HAProxy on both hosts (configuration is done only once), then set up an external DNS service from the library that updates your DNS when a host goes down. I even run a small DNS server in 2 containers on both hosts so I don't need the externa…
Using DNS for HA is a lose-lose scenario. I'll take a proper load balancer backed with a cloud provider's superior network any day.

That's pretty impressive hardware for under $150

renting used servers? any pointers would be helpful - $150/yr sounds cool How much technical (DevOps-y) do you have to be keep it secure & available?

Who's your vendor? I'd like to get the same deal you're getting.

Holy cow, 28 000 servers, can you give us a clue to what you need so many servers for?
We're processing videos, a lot of them. Roughly 34PB worth of data every month. Additionally we're running our search engine at top of it with couple of other services. You can check what we're up to here https://pex.com
