    BLDGBLOG notes:


    Sun Micro Blackbox


    Sun has announced their Project Blackbox: a modular, prefab, stackable, shipping container-based, portable supercomputing and data storage warehouse – ideal for pirate utopias.


    "After today," they say, "you'll never look at an ordinary shipping container quite the same way again. Project Blackbox is a prototype of the world's first virtualized datacenter – built into a shipping container and optimized to deliver extreme energy, space, and performance efficiencies." Project Blackbox is "a glimpse into the fast, cost-effective datacenter deployments coming in the near future."

    Somewhat incredibly, "[t]he Project Blackbox prototype is a computing powerhouse capable of hosting a configuration that would place it among the top 200 fastest supercomputers globally."

    Great stocking filler for the billionaire who has everything.

    10 years and you'll be able to fit that much power into a mobile phone... Scary, for reasons I have never quite made myself clear of.
