Cisco's Portable Data Centers

Recently, Cisco released its new Cisco Containerized Data Center which targets "network customers who need a fast and flexible way to expand, complement, or replace traditional brick and mortar data centers." The idea of these data centers is pretty interesting. They're twenty to forty foot containers that are packed with networking equipment that is easily transported and changed to fit the needs of their customers. They are really innovative pieces of technology, which are each filled with 16 data center racks that can each support 25 KWh of power. In order to keep from overheating, each is equipped with a chilled water cooling system at the bottom of each container. The target customer groups for these new portable data centers are the "government and commercial organizations for rapid deployment of mobile computing, disaster recovery, war zones, and support in remote areas, but they can also be used as a complimentary data center for any organization."
This data center is meant to provide a cheaper, more convenient data storage solution because traditional brick and mortar data centers are expensive to build and take a long time to plan.
I think this is a great idea, and shows the increasing mobility of our world. The data centers are also cheaper and more energy efficient that typical brick and mortar data centers, which is always a plus.
