It must be their own DC. Most rackspace rented (in UK DC's at least) tend to be a maximum of 16A (at 240V) per 42U cabinet, so just under 4kW. By my estimation

- EwanToo 14y agoYou can get higher power density in a rack in pretty much any UK DC, you just need to pay for it. The problem is you often end up paying for the rack space that would be allocated for the total power you're using, without actually getting the rack space! In exchange, the DC's own electrician turns up during your install and makes sure things are working correctly and safely, you might end up with different sockets if required, 3-phase power, etc.
