In order to deliver you our shit hot “high volume non-automated media information system” we decided not to have a centralized server solution like anybody else, but rather teamed up with Sun Microsystems to develop this shipable and scalable Datacenter called Project Blackbox.

Unfortunately this is kiddin’ all the way, because this is so cool that we’d whished this to be our idea and would die to have one or two of those standing in our cribs backyard to host all the stuff we have.

for specs and some ass-kickin’ pics

A single Project Blackbox could accommodate 250 Sun Fire T1000 servers with the CoolThreads technology with 2000 cores and 8000 simultaneous threads.
A single Project Blackbox could accommodate 250 x64-based servers with 1000 cores.
A single Project Blackbox could provide as much as 1.5 petabytes of disk storage or 2 petabytes of energy-efficient tape storage.
A single Project Blackbox could provide 7 terabytes of memory.
A single Project Blackbox could handle up to 10,000 simultaneous desktop users.
A single Project Blackbox currently has sufficient power and cooling to support 200 kilowatts of rackmounted equipment.
