Mac mini “High-Density” Data Center

Have you ever dreamed about a high-density data center using Mac OS X instead of Windows OS?  You now can do just that with this amazing Mac Mini Vault.  The Mac Mini Vault is a 48U APC cabinet that lets you have a collection of up to 140 Mac Minis that allows you for a high-density data center.

The shelves in this vault are specifically designed for easy access to all power buttons and ports with individual slots that are pre-wired for internet connectivity.  In simple words, everything is very simple to access and there is pre-wired spots for your Ethernet cords to plug into.  At the top of the vault are several Cisco Gigabit Switches with redundant fiber connections to the data center’s backbone network.

Each cabinet provides remote power cycling capability thanks to six APC switched Power Distribution Unites.

Here is a quote from the press release:

Mac Mini Vault is a part of the CyberLynk Family of Technology Companies. This organizational structure provides the building blocks of great customer service and support.

The bottom line of this product, a very expensive solution to having a home/work data center.

What do you think of this?  If this was affordable, would you buy one with all the Mac Minis?  Do you think it would be powerful?  Leave your thoughts in the comment section!

High-density data center using mac minis for a home/work environment is rather a geekish thing as a smart solution. Wish I'd be spoiled enough to have this sitting in my basement just for exhibiting purposes :P
