The
SxSW [1] (South by Southwest) conference is underway in Austin, and the team from
The Planet have added some interactivity to the company’s booth on the trade show floor with
The Planet Server Challenge [2]. Participants have a deconstructed Pentium4 server sitting on a table in front of them, and the objective is to put it back together as quickly as possible. The fastest server builder at the conference will win an ASUS Eee PC netbook. In this 90 second video, The Planet’s Phil Jackson demonstrates the process.

DCK video archive [3] and the
Data Center Videos [4] channel on YouTube.
