Powerhouse POD – HP Tech Forum 2009

Last week we showed off the HP POD system. An impressive Data center in a metal case. However, how do you power the POD?

That is where this POD comes in. It is the ActivePower Powerhouse. A 40 foot container that gives the Data Center the power and cooling it needs.

Andy McCaskey talks with Martin on what it takes to keep the POD running and keep it cool. These PODs have to be ready for any instance – you never know where the POD will be dropped. Andy and Martin also talk about the Flywheel system – to provide a half a megawatt to the POD if needed.
