HP's POD: The newest containerized data center

HP has announced plans to offer container-based data centers similar to those offered by other companies at this moment. Interest in containerized data centers stems from companies with significant data center footprints that have run out of space and/or power capacity.

The name of the product is POD = Performance Optimized Data Center. The 40-foot POD will comprise 22 taller-than-average 50U racks that can support up to 3,500 compute nodes, or 12,000 large form-factor hard drives. The servers will be accessible from the front of the rack and cooled with HP modular cooling system components using chilled water. HP will also offer a 20-foot container option for smaller environments.
