Ubuntu Orange Box - cloud-in-a-box

[John]

Inside the Orange Box, you'll find ten Intel micro-servers powered by Ivy Bridge i5-3427U CPUs. Each mini-server has four cores, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 16GBs of DDR3 RAM, a 128GB SSD root disk, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. The first computer also includes a Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi Adapter, and 2TB Western Digital hard drive. These are all connected in a cluster with a D-Link Gigabit switch. Put it all together and you get a 40-core, 160GB RAM, 1.2TB SSD cluster in a box.

The Orange Box, which was designed by Canonical and the UK computer OEM Tranquil PC, sells for £7,575.00, or approximately $12,750.

@Mike - This is not a toy class microwave oven.

Yup, looks like solid stuff. And I've also read somewhere Canonical are seriously planning Ubuntu-based smartphone business too.

This is another proof that, while lowbrow linuxoid deadbeats are spatting the net with their illiterate "Windows musdie" and "Windows suckz" trash and are dancing to the GNU GPL tunes, smart people are making a big buck off of it in the meantime.

Serves them (the rank and file community) right.

Someone needs to steer.
