Comment on Server dealer keeps hitting at Elon Musk for $61 million bill — Wiwynn sues X for unpaid IT infrastructure products

  “The components used to build the products are largely unique to the products, resulting in long lead times for ordering such component parts from suppliers,” and Twitter must give “written approval for Wiwynn to purchase the necessary components to manufacture the customer products…and expressly assumed liabilities for the procurement costs.”

  So basically they were got bespoke servers that are great for Twitter, custom designed, and definitely aren’t easy to just resell elsewhere, so because Twitter isn’t paying they’re IT company is eating the loss right now

  The article sounds to me like they were selling hardware, not providing a service.

  Checking their website confirms this is what they usually offer.

  Wiwynn may be unique in the market with its ability to provide solutions all the way up to L11 rack integration services – from the board, to the system to the complete rack. Wiwynn has the facilities to deliver systems that have been tested and validated prior to shipping, reducing the amount of time that customers need to spend to assemble, test, and validate prior to a rack installation going live.
