Last night I had a chance to walk through a Project Blackbox container as part of a NEOSUG tour. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but I was surprised by the sheer solidity of the infrastructure. Everything about it felt very substantial: the electrical, water, and data hookups; the airflow system; the equipment racks and plumbing; even the doors. The shock absorbers mounted under each rack completed the impression that these units are engineered for real-world, mobile deployment.
