Project Blackbox
You'll never look at an ordinary shipping container quite the same way again. Project Blackbox is a prototype of the world's first virtualized datacenter--built into a shipping container and optimized to deliver extreme energy, space, and performance efficiencies. Project Blackbox applies Sun's trademark innovation, network computing infrastructure and HPC expertise to engineer out complexity and provide a better datacenter. Project Blackbox, the world's first fully contained, virtualized datacenter, delivers several unique advantages:
- Rapid, Easy Deployment: "Build once, deploy anywhere"
- Very High-density Computing: Capacity for over 700 CPUs, 2000 cores, or 8000 compute threads!
- Versatility and Flexibility: "What you want, where you want it, when you want it".
- Breakthrough Economics and Eco Responsibility: scalability, use of standard components, cooling innovation, low cost to build, efficiency, and Sun's recycling initiatives.
