last week sun announced product availability for sun modular datacenter (sun MD) s20, widely known as project blackbox. i am sure you have already heard or read so much about this innovative datacenter-in-a-box and its simplicity, flexibility, transportability, environmental friendliness and many other great features. in addition, sun also offered a suite of innovative services that covers the full spectrum of plan, build, support and transform.
over the past few months i have read many interesting stories as how companies, universities and governments applied and deployed the sun md creatively. here is an interesting one - an 100m below ground datacenter in an abandoned coal mine in japan with 30 sun MDs. it must be an interesting experience to field a support call in such subterranean environment.
