Comment One possible use for these portable datacenters. (Score 1) 120

If you think about it. Data-centers in the way they are built and ran are Secure, redundant and very pricey. Most Data-centers rent out space for many companies. What happens if something happened to the data center? (fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane or other disaster). The companies who are paying good money for the data centers service would be out of service and loosing money. If you sold portable data centers to companies they would buy what they need and have it shipped to their locations. They keep it secure. Their IT Staff keep it running and it reduces the risk of many companies loosing money due to downtime. I don't think these portable data-centers are aimed to be truly portable. I think they are meant to be portable if something should go awry. For example Company A buys a portable data center. they have it installed in their home office outside of New York. Say Something happens to the building where the Portable data-center is being ran. The company could quickly move their servers and racks to another location.
