No, I didn't leave them out. They're just not a significant factor because those costs are proportional to need and demand. A company is either large enough to have enough that those things are aggregated across tons of servers, or they're likely colocating. Also, datacenters don't require all of that to be datacenters.
- nullindividual 3y agoYou did leave them out because most people _want_ electricity in their datacenter, or have DR, etc. These aren't free. And colocation is not free -- you pay for all of those things on top of the hardware you have to plan for peak cycles on. Nor what you were talking about in the OP, hence ignoring colo.
