That’s the issue with these things. It seems that
everyone likes the idea, but no one wants to be the early adopters.
It was pointed out to me that Google has patented the idea, but
yet Sun has working on Project Blackbox for a couple of years. I wonder
if there will be a legal battle between the two over this.
The concept of a portable data center is seems like it could
have some very specific uses. Others?
- Military
- Geo
Physical / Seismic
- Disaster
Recovery
- New
Media / Web 2.0
The same box could also serve these industries with the same
buildings but in a permanent location. Others?
- Telecommunications
/ Fiber
- Semi-Permanent
Data Centers

Has anyone seen one of these things in real life?
I hear that there's been one sighted in Houston. I would love to take
a tour.
Also, is anyone using anything like this? It seems like they would
make great fiber huts.
I also find this very interesting but don't really know of anyone who has deployed
this in their business
