Inside The Box: Data Center Container Tours
A view of the container area in the new Microsoft data center in Chicago.
Last week we showcased some of the Coolest Data Center Video Tours.

Here’s our guide to videos of the leading container offerings developed by vendors and customers, including support containers and some new players featuring flexible designs.
