Internet Archive: Petabox
Now you can serve up a petabyte of data from a standard shipping container! The Internet Archive has some serious server needs and they're willing to put their expertise to work. The Petabox is now available for purchase. It has 800 computers, it consumes 60KW of electricity, one administrator can run it, and it can run inside a 20' x 8' x 8' shipping container. I guess that's just in case you don't have a server room in your basement. I would need to rewire my breaker panel before I buy one of these.
