Sun Microsystems’ Datacenter in a Shipping Container
by Duncan on October 24, 2006
Remember that Google Container concept that Cringely wrote about a while back? Sun Microsystems now sells these things!
Take a look: (super cheese video)
One of these units would make it into the top 200 computers in the world. They stack up to 6 containers high! It can support 1.5 petabytes of storage per container. Cringely says “it’s the largest sneakernet ever built”
Some of Sun’s usage scenarios.
