I received an e-mail from local technology evangelist, Simon Rohrich of Elliptical Mobile Solutions, letting me know of his company's great line of mobile data center products.
At the core of their designs is a multi-dimensional suspension system that isolates electronic equipment from damaging shock and vibration through a patent-pending combination of pneumatic weight adaptation and magnetorheological/pneumatic dampening.
He also pointed out the advantages of interconnecting self-contained and micro-containerized data center modules (data center in a box) packaged inside an inexpensive shell building.
Here's a brief list of their products:
