Of course you can, but I guess at that point you don't build your DC out of shipping containers.

- bayindirh 5y agoTheoretically, you can. We looked into it. Also, Chinese build solid DC buildings out of containers. It's indeed possible.
- asciimike 5y agoWhich providers were you looking at? IIRC Huawei was the only company providing ISO container DCs, but the were super low density (e.g. 50kW total) compared to what the original Google/Sun/HP designs were.
- gregoriol 5y agoShipping containers are better against fire than wood. But here it's what was inside that seems to have been a problem, not the outer structure.
- brohee 5y agoHow are they better? Metal structures last minutes not hours when enough heat is involved...
- AnssiH 5y agoJust for the record so people don't get the wrong idea, SBG2 was not built out of shipping containers. OVH has other DCs that are, though.
