needz moar pod

[mattmirai]

@DataCenterVideos I have one question about the POD, I'm not sure if you can answer me but, the question is: What if the weather is something like the Canadian winter in Newfoundland, e.g., how can I open the back of the POD without any risk to my infrastructure? I mean, it'd be extremely cold and it may harm the racks etc.

@mattmirai pods are kept in another building

[enigmaticottawa]

@mattmirai Your question is answered at just after 6 minutes into the video.

[mattmirai]

Really interesting equipment.

[scott93257]

Great questions and awesome answers...This gentleman really knows his hardware... Would love to have a job like his :)

[nxadmon]

This thing is a piece of junk, here's why:

All those boxes on the outside will get ripped off if you plan to ship this overseas. There's no space or planning for uninterpretable power units. There was no mention of fire suppression which is just silly. For the price you might as well engineer your own shipping container. Plus this is useless for playing Crysis :].

[aag9]

nice guy, but he's been getting nervous while being questioned about the price at 6.30...

your body will always betrays you while you trying to cover something up.

and BTW

the temperature is a huge issue with HP products so don't try to give us the thing with the air circulation.

...nothing about the Cooling/Power plant, redundancy, emergency power. It must be all available in parking lot....

ENTERPRISE CONTROL SYSTEMS TO LAUNCH CONTAINERIZED DATA CENTER TOUR

Enterprise Control Systems announced today the schedule for their 2010 Containerized Data Center Road Show Tour that will showcase a truly vendor neutral containerized data center. The event which stops at cities throughout the Western US will strive to show data center operators how they can improve energy efficiencies over traditional data center designs by deploying containerized data centers.

if think about, that you´re watching a video from servers like them??

hard^^

i think it´s very interesting..

[englishjg]

Yea, but can it play Call of Duty 4?

[13yroldmodder]

It can play 4 cod 4's lol on 1 system xD

[bubuman16]

i´m to^^ muahaha

[Sticky1254]

Well, these clusters have been tested to run crysis warhead at 250 fps.

[myx0x3]

it might be the worst cluster ever if it only could run one crysis or four Cod.. each server has 2x quad or duo processor and over 24GB RAM, one cloud is over 200 cores and so on.. i think it could play over 400 CoD at the same time (if it had one GPU per CPU) and these computers dont play computer games.. these servers hosts our life.. think about that! :D

[nos676]

they have inbuilt intel graphics that only does VGA.... NOT made for gaming,,, DUH

[nos676]

its not made to play cod 4

[myx0x3]

@nos676 read what Sticky1254 posted, thought that "these clusters have been tested to run crysis warhead at 250fps" 250fps it not impresse, atleast not for these clusters, and i know that it needs an GPU to make the game playable...

[nos676]

lol...

they run it on the CPU's!

my CPU can run crysis at 8FPS.. its a core i7 920 overclocked to 4.5GHz watercooled (see my vids)

its raw CPU power dumbass..

even core i3's have inbuilt GPU's

[myx0x3]

did not know that its possible to run crysis at only the CPU.. thought you needed an GPU, couse its an different architechture and different programming, guess not :)

i know that i3 has an Nvidia 9400 chip built-in.. the newer i5 has also integrated gpu ;)

anyway, run games at server dont show how good they are, bandwidth and much more are more imporant.

i just think that 250fps at the CPU's is not good enoth.

I did not spell check or pre-read before sending.

Sorry.

This data center is not for a permeant install. Think mobile military, on scene emergency or large venue data centers and you will understand the process. America is now included in the term called the front line. Data processing has to be mobile to be effective. The olympics is not just a four year event. The Olympics host events every year. The four event is a culmination all minor events. That requires massive on scene data process. This machine fits that requirement.

[ooocmyooo]

no, it's a fixed installation - to have better cooling they actually can install it under the earth - it's not used for military purposes (yet).

[ElvisCamillo]

?

So.. let me see if I got it straight: Building a datacenter in the yard of your company is more cheaper than one inside of a building or something like that?

LOL

That's insane.

[joepkusters]

good questions, good answers, good presentation...

[mcsonique]

Yes, the presentator seems very well trained in what he's talking about. But in fact he's has to sell a 1M+ machine.

[erinqueen]

movieanatommy, -- cost is actually on par with a traditional datacenter cost, or sometimes even less. List price of $1.2M for the POD itself --plus the cost of whatever IT goes inside.

[moviemantommy]

I want one! I am sure it is big bucks...
