Project Black Box by Sun-MicroSystems.

**********************The Container Itself****************************

Of recently i've been working on a project and while continuing with the same, i came across this PROJECT BLACK BOX by Sun Micro systems . http://www.sun.com/emrkt/blackbox/index.jsp.

In simple terms according to sun 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.

This added some light to me. I was so amazed with the this great thinking. I mean a whole complete Data Center in One Hell of a Container. Can you imagine!!!!!! This is awesome guys. The whole idea revolves around overcoming such disaster like the 9/11 incident in New York and also minimizing costs which a normal fully functioning Data and NOC center would take. This has enabled me get more ideas for my project in regards to resource optimization.


Inside you can see a Rack with a cluster of Sun Servers cabled Properly.
