Server container at PDC
This container was put together in four days. Microsoft's goal is to reduce the lead time for using the containers to boost data center capacity from many months to as little as six weeks.
Note the blue Windows Azure signage on the container. Azure is Microsoft's operating system for cloud computing, a style of computing in which servers--lots and lots and lots of servers--host the bulk of the data and applications that users access from their local PCs, smartphones, and other devices.
