This is very uninteresting and way behind the big cloud vendors high density installs. Theyre just saying “when power/cooling limited use a form factor that optimizes your remaining constraints, like RU.” So yes, 2p & 3p edge sites are commonly limited to 5-10kva, and you end up with low density racks and “extra” physical space you can use. In the modern dense 1p deployments youll see 20kva, or more, per position. The physical form factor always follows those constraints based on cooling/power/connectivity/weight/etc.
- bradknowles 3y agoI thought current rack standard installs were like 40kW per rack, with high end all-AI type racks being like 100kW each? Where the heck are you seeing 5-10kva?
