Mobile data center

    On October 16, Sun Microsystems announced the development of a certain cluster center on wheels (“data center in a box”).

    The product is a container with a bunch of servers, which can be put into operation anywhere where there is electricity, water and the Internet.

    The prototype was introduced today in San Francisco. And on sale such a container will appear in the second half of 2007. The base price will be around $ 500,000

    Interview with Schwartz (although it requires registration for reading)

    Information was obtained from Ruslan Valiev .

    Funny enough news. Despite the fact that the last two years for insidersthe problem of data centers is becoming more and more acute. Starting from constant moving to fantastic ideas to build a data center on the territory of any hydroelectric power station. Rumors that this or that is building a data center have already become much more dynamic and more mystical than gossip about House-2 :) The numbers and costs are called very different.

    And now, please, a ready-made solution. At a price, it should be noted, very comparable with speculative calculations (also about half a million dollars, however, a slightly larger area). I can’t assure that it will be so, but such a project can turn out very funny for the local market if this BlackBox gets here. My joke about Priozersk and the Pink Dawn hi-tech bar may well turn out to be a reality.
