In my very limited experience it seems like space is much less an issue than power density.
You can fit far more kW/U than the datacenter can possibly cool.
In the commodity space that I rent, I ran out of power before filling even half the rack. I’m sure higher power/cooling density is possible to obtain, but I would think you’re primarily paying for that versus square footage?
- zozbot234 5y agoWhat do you need that power density for? It's a rack, not a supercomputer. (I sure hope it's not "mining coins" or anything like that.)
- wmf 5y agoIt's not really about needing power density; high density can easily happen accidentally. 40 1S servers in a rack could be 20 kW and 40 2S servers could be 30+ kW.
