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.
