A self-contained module that includes a series of rack-mounted servers along with its own lighting, air conditioning, humidification and UPS system. Designed to be transported in a shipping container and deployed intact, it enables a complete datacenter to be installed in a fraction of the normal time, and it can redeployed just as easily. Only electrical and network hookup are required.
In 2008, Sun introduced its Modular Datacenter S20. Holding as many as 250 servers in a highly efficient, 20x8' climate controlled module, the unit is shipped and installed intact. (Image courtesy of Sun Microsystems, Inc.)
