Project Blackbox - Data Center on the go

Did you know Sun has come up with a Data Center on the go. Project Blackbox is a transportable shock-proof shipping container. It is capable of accommodating up to 250 Sun Fire T1000s or x64 servers, with up to 7 terabytes of memory and as many as 1.5 petabytes of disk or 2 petabytes of tape storage — just supply water and power, and the thing will run on its own.

The question is - Who’s gonna use it and where?

    Yeah, it’s been a while now since they launched it, so let’s wait and see how it goes.

    I can’t believe that only water is needed to cool it. I’d hate to pay the power bill.
