IBM's datacentre in a box: photos

The event was held as part of IBM's "Inside the Cloud" tour around the Asia Pacific.

The datacentre on display was a 6.1-metre offering that was triple-sealed to withstand the elements.

People in the industry were invited to tour the portable datacentre yesterday.

This particular model of the portable datacentre comes with InRow cooling options; however, there are an infinite number of cooling facilities IBM can install.
