Project Blackbox from Sun
Sun are breaking all the rules once again with a datacenter in a box product. Dubbed Project Blackbox, this is essentially as many servers, networking and storage devices as possible all crammed into a shipping container. Using revolutionary cooling systems this thing is guarranteed to stay cool in any situation. You could even consider it ‘portable’ as all it needs is network connectivity and electricity. There’s a bunch of photos on the site showing different scenarios – I especially like the mars landing! But this is a serious product and although I can’t think of too many uses for it off the top of my head, I still want one, just to run my little empire from the back garden!
CEO, Jonathan Schwartz blogs about it.
