A bit of that and the other
white trash computing -- where is my container
Seems like the idea of "white trash" computing is catching up like wildfire in the mainstream market.
After last years announcement about project blackbox there are at least another two vendors that came to my attention offering similar projects.
APC and their InfrastruXure Express
and Rackable Systems with their Concentro offering.
Although not an entirely new idea, the industry takes the old bespoke- custom only static solutions of the 90's to a new "off the shelf" idea.
Personally i do now have any experience with any of the above mentioned systems for obvious reasons.
As Jonathan recent entry about moving a petabyte of data, i can see how this type of systems could actually make a diference for a few industries and their time to market. Imagine filming in remote parts of the world you dont have to send it back to the studio you can edit away on the spot.
The only limitation to all is that one needs to have water and power to be 100% mobile, maybe there will be "addons" in the projects where you have a water container and another two containers one containing diesel and the other diesel generators.
My favourite segment for this would be global motorsport.
Come on formula 1..
