Google's container is real... thank you sun.

Posted by Ian Holsman Wed, 18 Oct 2006 04:32:00 GMT

Robert Cringley’s prediction of google creating a data centre in a shipping container has been fulfilled.

not by google, but by sun.

Project Blackbox was announced today.

I’m waiting for the day for a operations engineer to say ‘we need to swap out container 5 as it is malfunctioning’, in the same manner they talk about a malfunctioning computer.

I think sun is going in the right direction here, and addressing the real problem, data center operations directly instead of focusing on incremental improvements like it’s competitors are.

way to go Jonathan and team!
