Bangalore: APC by Schneider Electric is introducing its InfraStruxure power and cooling architecture to IBM's containerized datacenter, reports eWeek.com. APC announced this month, that through an expanded partnership, IBM's PMDC (Portable Modular Datacenter) can be ordered with the InfraStruxure products already integrated. The APC offering includes everything from racks and power supplies to cooling systems. APC's modular and scalable offering fits well with what IBM is doing with the PMDC, according to APC Chief Technology Officer Jim Simonelli. "APC's footprint in IBM's modular datacenter offerings demonstrates the adaptability of our solutions to meet customer demands in a variety of business applications," Simonelli said in a statement. IBM in 2008 joined a growing number of vendors in offering complete and portable datacenters that could be housed in standard shipping containers. While the idea of portable datacenters is not new, the idea got renewed life in 2006, when Sun Microsystems introduced its Project Blackbox.
