Phison has collaborated with Lonestar Data Holdings on a fascinating out-of-this-world venture. On Wednesday evening, the partners proudly announced that "the First Data Center Hardware on the Moon" had been successfully launched in a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. If everything goes according to plan, the so-called Lonestar Freedom Data Center – packing a Phison Pascari enterprise-grade storage solution – will be operational on the moon starting March 4.
Some may consider it a stretch to call Phison's soon-to-be moon-based 8TB device a 'data center.' Perhaps the WESH 2 News (Florida) reporter on location at the Kennedy Space Center pre-launch on Wednesday was a little more candid in describing the rocket payload as "a giant flash drive."
