I can't remember the name of the company - but I remember reading
(possibly on reddit) of a company that builds shipping container
DC's, mostly for PoP's to go into regional areas (buy small block of
land, lay a concrete slab, slot in a shipping container close to
major infrastructure).<br>
<br>
For customer indoor units it doesn't make much sense to me over just
building cages, but each to their own I guess. I know Google did (or
still does) have a similar model but there's truly is modular to
just plug in a new container and scale up iirc.<br>

<div>Do they also have containerized UPSs, generators, cooling
capacity? Or do they dock the containers along a services spine?</div>

<div>I’m kinda surprised they’re being used - they were a solution
to nobody’s problem (except, perhaps, the US Army) when they
came onto the scene in the early 2000’s.</div>

<div>They never really caught on in private enterprise. Lots of
hype, lots of articles and headlines in the parts of the tech
press that regurgitate vendor press releases, virtually nothing
actually sold.</div>

<div>Tier5 in Adelaide tried something similar with per-customer
