HP News Desk HP Shrinks Its POD
It says the new POD, or Performance-Optimized Datacenter, has been designed with portability and space in mind

HP has shrunk its 40-foot container down to 20 feet, figuring to match more applications. It says the new POD, or Performance-Optimized Datacenter, has been designed with portability and space in mind. Unlike its big brother, it can be transported by air without breaking the bank. The equivalent of a traditional 2,000-square-foot data center, the shipping container can hold 10 50U racks and claims to improve energy efficiency by 50% with a power usage efficiency (PUE) ratio of up to 1.25 due to its closely coupled thermal design. HP estimates that this POD can cut a company's capex by 15%-40% and opex by up to 30% given its pay-as-you-grow proposition. Junior here can house 1,500 compute nodes or 5,000 large form factor hard drives with up to 2911kW of power distribution (145kW redundant power). HP claims it doesn't care whether it's stuffed with HP equipment or somebody else's. Like any POD it promises fast time-to-deployment. Sans equipment it runs $600,000.
