Technical FAQs 4

How much power does a data center cabinet use?

Almost every data center has some variation of power among cabinets. It is common to find cabinets operating from 50 watts (a network switch with patch panels) up to 30 kW (fully loaded high performance blade servers). This represents a range of 60 to 1 in power consumption.

How much power is allowed per cabinet?

The design target average power per cabinet is 5 kW. The peak power allowed in any cabinet is 12.5 kW as long as the pod power does not exceed 50 kW for all 12 cabinets combined. The total indoor space required by this design is 25,320 ft2 (2,352 m2).

How much power does a rack use in a data center?

Racks in a data center can draw an average power of up to 43 kW. This data center has a total power capacity of three of their legacy data centers combined, with the purpose of enabling significant growth in computing demand required by electronic design automation tools.

What happens if a data center is modeled without a managed power ratio?

A projected data center energy efficiency that is modeled or calculated without consideration of the managed power ratio, will result in over-optimistic and suspect calculations. In many cases, the data center operator may have choices about cabinet density.
