Project aims to halve cost of a data center



The island partly responsible for slashing the cost of personal computers has set its sights on the cloud, seeking to halve the price of the massive data centers required for the growing world of online services.

Taiwan's publicly funded Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) aims to create standards for building data centers inside 20-foot (6.1-meter) shipping containers, an idea popularized by Sun Microsystems in 2006 with its Project Blackbox.
