And given some of the early reactions, I thought I'd answer a few of the questions that have surfaced, then point everyone to a video Dave Douglas, the VP in charge of the program put together to talk about our motivations/priorities. First, the questions...
Q: Why'd you paint the prototype Blackbox...

As I've been saying for a while, our customers - more specifically, a segment* of our customers - face a diversity of tough challenges. What does the CIO in midtown Manhattan do when she runs out of roof space or power? How does an aid agency deliver basic connectivity to 5,000 relief workers in a tsunami stricken metropolis? What does an oil company do when they want to move high...

For those that have been leaving comments, I first want to say I appreciate your time and energy. I read them all (both gruff and gracious).
But let me try to clarify a simple point.
I was talking to the CIO of a large financial institution last week. He told me he was in the midst of building out two new datacenters, spending $250,000,000 (yes, a quarter of a billon) on one, more than...

I've been an officer of a public company for a while, and I've had access to confidential information for a good while longer. And I'm used to holding my tongue on issues that'd be deemed material to Sun's financial performance. Like a pending acquisition or big sale, or data related to how our quarter's going. In a public company, there are very strict laws...
