Ethernet or FC connection ?? If so it would be possible to build an PDP-11 who is datacenter- compatible today year 2019 ... One requirement for todays datacenter (for some owners at least) is the ability to directly connect the system to the storage system (ie FC/SCSI or IP/iSCSI.) Hint: with that requirement as far as i know it an ARM device in the form of a Samsung S9 can't be data center compatible....
