If memory serves, I'm pretty sure these ditties were built for the dreaded Y2K event that didn't happen. I guess they are trying to figure out what to so with them now.

Subject: Data center in a box?

Here's an interesting idea from Sun:

It's an interesting idea, isn't it? Need a new data center? Just drop a container out in the back lot and run power to it. Could your next DBA job be in a black metal box?

I'd want to bolt it down well, to prevent theft, and I'm not sure I'd want any logos on the box either. It'd probably be cheaper than a building-addition though.
