Mr Schwartz has been banging on about datacenters . It usually means something is coming.
I just got wind of ’Project Blackbox’:
It’s a datacenter in a container (no, not that sort of container).
Presumably with a network port at the back, and a power connector.
It could be photoshopped, but I’ll put money on it being true.
To be honest, I’m having trouble trying to speculate some mad feature that I don’t expect to turn out to be true later today .
The Sun asylum has been taken over by some of the most brilliant lunatics I’ve ever come across.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention the hosepipe to cool it.
See what I mean?
UPDATE 2: confirmed on his blog – ben has some photos of the inside too.
So, have you convinced your employer to buy one?
Sadly our current purchasing policy seems to be :
‘buy hardware that rhymes with hell’ :/
