It provides more than 3,500 compute nodes, or 12,000 LFF hard drives (or any combination) in a 40–foot shipping container. Power capacity is up to 27 kilowatts per rack, and conven–tional access to all equipment includes front, rear, and overhead. IT and POD management is available either remotely or locally.
Offering flexible configurations optimized for power or density, the HP POD lets customers quickly upgrade or extend the capacity of their physical infrastructure to meet specific business needs. Infrastructure services include assessment, preparation and deployment, as well as data center design and planning through EYP Mission Critical Facilities (a company of HP).
HP says the POD is designed for companies looking to deploy a new data center within weeks, as a temporary expansion site during a new data center build–out, as a disaster recovery solution, or for new or alternative data center growth strategies.
