I'm curious about this. Can you elaborate on what went wrong?

  Not the above commenter, but when we got a quote from them (over a year ago), the pricing seemed really good for a full rack. But looking through the fine details, it turned out to only offer 7 amps (power) for the entire rack. While that's not totally useless, it's pretty close to being so. They seemed to be looking for suckers to offload useless facility space onto or something.

    i see they're getting less generous. it used to be 15A for that price. not awesome but slightly less useless.

    7A doesn't sound right for a full rack. Each rack has its own breaker and those are 15A at the smallest. I suspect the 7A was for a half-rack deal, though those are extremely rare for HE.

      It could be 7A per leg with two power legs so when one trips you are not at 30A on a 15A breaker.

      Hmmm, it was a while ago. Maybe it was a half rack thing. That being said, it turned out to be in one of their oldest data centres that they hadn't been able to upgrade. So the available power and cooling for each rack wasn't even close to meeting modern server needs.
