HP to offer datacenter-in-a-box
Hewlett-Packard became the latest vendor to announce a "mini datacenter" housed in a shipping container, which can provide a way for companies to add compute capacity when power and cooling systems in their existing datacenters are maxed out. HP's 40-foot POD will contain 22 50u server racks and be able to house up to 1,100 1u servers or 12,000 large-form-factor hard drives, for a total 12 petabytes of storage.
HP's Performance Optimized Data Center, or POD, will be available in the U.S. by the end of the third quarter and worldwide a few months after that, the company said Wednesday. HP joins Sun Microsystems, Rackable Systems, and IBM, among others, who sell similar products
