Wednesday October 18, 2006 Datacenter in a Can?
Or rather datacenter in a shipping container. Yesterday, Sun announced Project Blackbox - a prototype datacenter packed neatly into a standard 20-foot shipping container. This form factor facilitates the rapid deployment of an impressive amount of compute power, taking advantage of existing transportation infrastructure to do so. Ship it in; hook it up to power, water, and network sources; and you're ready to rock!I am dying to take a peek inside one of these containers. Since I am based in Broomfield, I will just have to settle for pictures for now.
Now that we have shown the world ours, maybe Google will trot theirs out as well. :-) ( Oct 18 2006, 12:35:26 AM PDT ) Permalink
