Microsoft Building `Containerized` Data Center

eWeek reports: "Microsoft is in the process of building the industry's first container-based data center.

Microsoft first said a year ago that it was considering the idea, and now the concept is coming to fruition, Michael Manos, Microsoft's senior director of Data Center Services, said April 1 in a keynote address at the AFCOM Data Center World conference here."

I have heard of companies playing with the idea of container-based data centers for the last few years. Its nice to see them finally using them.
