Last week IBM launched its Portable Modular Data Centre solution in Australia. The unit is basically a self-contained datacentre located in a mobile shipping container. Prices range from US$700,000 to US$3 million, with site preparation and installation services not included. The launch follows similar product offerings by rivals such as Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle) in Australia over the past few years.

That’s not very cloud like…
I agree, it is pretty much the exact opposite of cloud. You would need to know where this baby is at all times.
Interesting that IBM are making a big deal about these – Sun had them some years before IBM ever did…
