Row, Row, Row Your Datacenter
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008Ken Jamaca and Derek Baker from Silverback Migration Solutions pointed me to a new datacenter company (PDF datasheet showcasing their first ship) that is converting refurbished cargo container ships into full-fledged datacenters. The company, IDS, is currently in stealth mode.
Major benefits include:
- Rapidly deployable datacenter real-estate in the most physically and electrically congested areas of the port-accessible nation.
- Readily available and cheap chill water (mind the salt!).
- It’s real… first ship coming online this April.
For more details, see Ken’s blog, where he points out some contact information for the folks. I’m willing to sign up for a tour come this April!
