A datacenter in a box

via Sun’s HPC Watercooler

The idea is computers, A/C, and power distribution in a shipping container that you park outside and light up. This is mildly interesting; long article here.

Could work for surge or emergent needs or in situations when you are only floorspace constrained, but getting the MW and chilled water (for the A/C) to run the stuff in the box is still a hurdle.
