Project Blackbox

Yesterday at the Sam Houston Race Park, I had a the opportunity to check out Sun's Project Blackbox! I was very impressed with the product. It has a lot of potential in today's market where space, energy, cooling, etc are major concerns. Within one shipping container, you can pack a lot of servers and storage. There were many presentations from Sun and lots of guests! I just want to say that the Sun Folks did a great job and I had a blast! So now to the pictures!
