Data-center built into a shipping container
Sun's Project Blackbox is a complete data-center built into a stackable shipping container. Just add electricity, bandwidth, and Uzi-toting goons and your mobile secure supercomputing center is ready to go anywhere the shipping lanes will carry it.Link (via Hack the Planet)
Project Blackbox is a prototype of the world's first virtualized datacenter--built into a shipping container and optimized to deliver extreme energy, space, and performance efficiencies.Designed to address the needs of customers who are running out of space, power and cooling, Project Blackbox gives customers a glimpse into the fast, cost-effective datacenter deployments coming in the near future--where thinking out of the box means putting an IT infrastructure in a box.
