Sun introduces data center built in shipping container

Last week Sun Microsystems unveiled Project Blackbox a systems innovation designed to reset datacenter economics. 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.

According to Sun's concept customers will be able to order a variety of standard and custom configurations of systems, storage, networking, and software. Housed in a standard 20-foot shipping container for maximum flexibility, Project Blackbox will be easily transported using common shipping methods. Simple hookups for water, AC power, and networking will enable customers to quickly deploy Project Blackbox upon delivery.
