HP’s container concept

HP heeft zijn eigen container concept op de markt gebracht genaamd de POD:

The HP Performance-Optimized Datacenter (POD) deploys within existing structures, or free-standing environments, without the expense and time required to build out traditional datacenters.

De POD is ontwikkeld samen met de door HP over genomen EYP Mission Critical Facilities.

Bij o.a. de oplossing van SUN is deze gebouwd om alleen maar SUN servers te huisvesten. De HP oplossing kan echter alle 19” servers huisvesten.
De ontwikkeling is onderdeel van de ‘cloud computing‘ strategie van HP

Computerworld queried several outside experts — including the president of a data center construction firm, a data center engineer-turned-CIO, an operations executive for a data center operator and a “green” data center consultant — to get their assessments of the strategy. While they were individually impressed with some parts of Microsoft’s plan, they also expressed skepticism that the idea will work in the long term.
