My first blackbox tour

I just had my first (private) little tour through a Sun Blackbox, an exemplar of which happens to be in Vienna these days (see also m³s coverage).



Boy that was cool...

to see how each rack is mounted on shock absorbers...
to actually see how you can save space in a data-center when you can design for it...
and just to think that you can plug a regular RJ45 jack onto that machine for network connectivity ... ;-)
