benIT Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Hello, Has anyone built or had commissioned a quick delivery server room? For example locating the server room within a shipping container? I know companies such as http://www.epi-rddc.com/ advertise solutions, for which I am getting a quote for. If you have any similar quick build server room projects you have completed I would be interested to hear from you. Thanks Ben
Millgate Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I only know of EPI. We've partnered with them in the past a few times. If you send me over what you want i might be able to use our discount to get you a better price. Let me know
jamesfed Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 HP do them - called the HP POD You would probably need to find a big HP reseller to get it to happen though. They look soooo cool
Millgate Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 HP POD- Massive scale out from HP I can't believe i haven't seen this before! But i've just spoken to our HP team and we can get them too. If you want any info just say

If you want any info just say They look soooooo cool! I saw one posted outside the HP building in Bracknell once - it did just look like a normal shipping container with big letters HP POD outside. Either way I think someone is about to make a whole shead load of money Edited October 28, 2011 by jamesfed

Russ Eeer Russ ours is a 12U rack case on wheels not a shipping container! I'd hate to try and get a shipping container on a Pendalino its fun enough getting that on with your own bags for a week at BETT without trying to haul on a 20ft shipping container

In fact ... is that why @Ric_ escaped down south?
elsiegee40 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 They showed us slides of these at the M$ conference back in Feb... Brilliant idea

I vote for @GrumbleDook to come up north to Preston to help get all the BETT kit to London this year then seen as @Ric_ has escaped down south..... I used to have one of these - http://www.bjorn3d.com/articles/Geargrip_-_Pro_Computer_Carrying_Harness/52.html well something very much like it, don't know where its gone now though They are great for carrying towers around site though
