Hewlett-Packard (HP) has released a 6-meter version (20 feet) of a "Performance Optimized Data Center (POD). A POD is an example wohnwagengrober container that contains a complete data center.

2008, the company a 12-meter-POD (foot 40) had added to the offer, which was mainly intended for horizontal scaling (more machines) clients such as Web 2.0 companies and providers of cloud computing services. The idea was well received but also in industries such as oil and gas, government, and financial service providers.

Jean Brandau, POD product manager at HP, said that his company offering a smaller POD, because the larger containers are too heavy to transport on bad roads. A 12-meter-POD can weigh over 45 tons, depending on the IT equipment it contains. This means that you can not bring it by air to its location. Oil and gas companies and the military share such data center but preferably one where the roads are not particularly well.

"The 12-meter-POD imposes restrictions during transportation," says Brandau. "The 6-meter version, which weighs about 22 tons, can carry a load plane."

For companies in the 6-meter-POD has other advantages. Not all companies need as many racks as have twice as great in the container space. The 12-meter-POD costs about 1.2 million U.S. dollars (about 870,000 euros), the 6-meter version, only half – in each case contained no computer facilities. According to Brandau, there are also companies that prefer to set up a number of 6-feet-PODs in different places, as all their computing power to concentrate in one place.

The 6-meter-POD has a center through which you can reach all control bodies and the backs of the racks (Hot Aisle). According to HP, the energy efficiency of PODs was increased. The container offers a total of 186 square meters of space for equipment.
