Well, Sun Microsystems has been on this idea for over 2 years. It is called project Blackbox. It looks as their design is more elegant, but I am just a developer.

Amazing tour.

Do you have any idea or quotes about what the ROI is on one of the new containers? How long does it take the savings of one of these containers, over a typical container Microsoft is using, to pay back the cost?

That's pretty cool. Are these units weather proof? Can one of these be shipped to an existing data center that is at capacity and be used outside?

The silverlight player stops at about 1 minute for me, downloading WMV High stops at 38.9MB, WMV at 12.7MB... what is going on with channel9 and PDC videos in the last week? Can hardly download a full video now.

@ivan_: Sun's solution is a "traditional" container that requires an external water chiller and a 45 to 65 GPM water hookup. The whole point of this new system is that it doesn't require that kind of infrastructure.

I have problems downloading this AVI. The downloading stops after a few minutes (using IE). Using the Silverlight player doesn't help. I have no problems downloading AVI's from other sites (.NET Rocks, IT Conversations etc.) I live in Australia.
