This is a large file repository being used by the
Internet Archive, designed to store 100 TB per
rack.  It's designed to operate in a shipping
container.

Apparently, this is a commercial product.  It
looks like a very interesting high-density storage
solution, although I'd imagine that the only
way you could back it up would be by mirroring.

See you Thursday.
