I can see portable generators being part of DR, but not one or more portable data centers. How long would it take you to start up a second instance of all the hosts and devices you have in a data centers? Isn't the purpose of DR to recover quickly? I've seen a zillion data centers, and I've never seen two that look alike or carry the same sub systems. So the value of this idea is the case with the empty rackspace (IMHO).... but then I would have to pre-fill it with all my same-kind hardware and then store it somewhere safe until I needed it, and I would want it online so that I could keep it in sync... at that point it's only benefit is that I could move it from site to site as hookup costs (data/power) fluctuate.

HUH? Like everyone else I think the idea is cool... just not sure how valuable it is. Then again, CALEA brings a different perspective, the DOJ could have a thousand of these things on standby ready to park outside your offices when necessary. :rolleyes: -Jim P.
