Server racks are likely to become much smaller in the future, following the unveiling of the "world's smallest" cloud data centre.
Intel has showcased its new Cloud in a Box technology demonstrator, which consists of two servers and is small enough to fit in a suitcase.
Powered by Intel's Xeon processors, the demonstration units are part of Intel's ongoing Cloud 2015 vision, to bring businesses cloud-based solutions that are federated, automated and client aware.
The demonstrator shows off a range of Intel's newest technologies, including its improved cloud security and virtualization applications.
It is yet to be seen if Intel intends to roll out a commercial version of the unit, but Intel does expect that data centres will need to be come much smaller and efficient in the future as businesses look to limit their footprints.
According to the chip maker: "Realising the benefits of cloud computing requires a cohesive set of open yet well-defined standards that operate across IT infrastructures."
