If I understand Mike, he is telling you they run 60 Amps, three phase... that is the same as 180 Amps at 120 V

We run approx. 90 Amps @ 120v to most racks, thats 208v @ 30 amp and 120v @ 30 Amps

Power is one of the biggest issues facing most data centers across the nation but it is not the same in all parts of the country, that is for sure. Another thing to keep in mind, just because a data center wont give you 60+ amps per rack does not mean they do not have the power available, it could be they simply cannot cool what they have. Consider how much cooling it takes to cool racks of hardware. 2000 sq ft of space running needs around 90 Tons of cooling to handle about 60 amps per rack average.

But some of us are not having power or cooling issues and sorry, not intending a hijacking
