Sun Microsystems Project Blackbox

x86 virtualization has always been a fan of the rarely mentioned Sun “Project Blackbox”. The idea of having a fully virtualized portable datacenter is awesome. Being able to pull up to a work site, plug in electrical, cooling and data and it is up and running.

There are many posts in the past, and now it is time for a new one, with Video.

Sun does a full 6.7 earthquake on a running blackbox. The box survives, with minimal damage. A few loose screws and some dented fixtures. Not bad for an initial test.

For anyone not familiar with the project here is a video overview:
