HP PODs come in 20-foot or 40-foot containers. A 40-foot container contains up to 22 full-depth, 50U industry-standard racks which support HP and other companies' servers. It can also support more than 3,500 compute nodes, or 12,000 large-form-factor (LFF) hard drives.

In addition, the 40-foot HP POD container also has 1,800+ watts per square foot, compared to 150 -- 250 watts per square foot in a typical data center, HP said, and has 600+ kilowatts of capacity.
