In today’s data-intensive business world, situations outside your control can limit a data centre’s ability to grow quickly - cost, space and ease-of-deployment, to name just a few.

With Sun Modular Datacenter or Sun MD (widely known as Project Blackbox), the possibilities for deployment are endless. For example:

  • Universities and medical research centres can quickly implement HPC solutions
  • Government agencies might deploy to remote geographic areas in emergency situations
  • Financial institutions have a new option for disaster recovery
  • Companies planning data centre consolidation can use Sun MD as an interim data centre and then re-deploy later for another use
  • Telcos could build remote substations

Now, there’s no better time to take the next step
