The idea is that rather than build an extension on your data centre, stick some of these on the roof, or in the cellar, where-ever. It is also about the time savings over building a conventional data centre: Rent some empty warehouse, dark fibre it, pop in a blackbox and be running in weeks rather than months/years for a conventional data centre. The sideways racks take conventional Sun rack mountable servers, eg 250 U's of x2100s. I imagine you will be able to buy a container and (partially) fill it with what ever you want. I guess the factory I work at in Scotland (one of Sun's largest) will be the European just-in-time assembly line, as we are for E25Ks and the like. -- Craig Skinner | http://www.kepax.co.uk | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
