datacenter container

datacenter container

A self-contained module that includes a series of rack-mounted servers along with its own lighting, air conditioning, humidification and UPS system. Designed to be transported in a shipping container and deployed intact, it enables a complete datacenter to be installed in a fraction of the normal time, and it can redeployed just as easily. Only electrical and network hookup are required. See datacenter in a box.

In 2008, Sun introduced its Modular Datacenter S20. Holding as many as 250 servers in a highly efficient, 20x8' climate controlled module, the unit is shipped and installed intact. (Image courtesy of Sun Microsystems, Inc.)
