Dell was mum about its containerised data centre designs. But once the company announced it would supply the servers behind Microsoft’s Azure compute cloud and Microsoft said it was embracing containers in a big way, it was only a matter of time before Dell opened up a bit and explain its container plans – intended for “a select number of customers.”
Dell’s data centre shipping container package – code-named “Humidor,” if you trust the graphics files that give us an outside and an inside view of the containers – is not a traditional commercial product, but rather a custom product that Dell’s Data Centre Solutions unit has cooked up for the several dozen customers in the world who have tens or hundreds of thousands of servers and who are trying to get out of building hundreds of thousands of square feet of data centre as they roll out infrastructure. The DCS unit is kicking out tens of thousands of servers itself and is one of the bright spots in enterprise sales at Dell.
