Rack Power Attributes
 

When to Consider Rack Power Small scale deployments Up to 10 racks Growth is managed on a rack by rack basis High Density Highest density power design = lowest U 1kVA to 5kVA in 2U rack space 10kVA to 20kVA in 4U rack space Scalability Where rate of growth not clearly defined 5kVA to 80kVA in a single rack Flexibility Right size building blocks 1,2,3kVA / 5kVA / 10kVA / 15kVA / 20kVA Simplified redundancy Modular redundancy as N+1 When to Consider alternates Business demands Ultra availability Tier 3 or Tier 4 needs transformer design Power Quality major concern Consider Room Power (may reflect on facility selection / design) Large Scale Where space is not a limiting factor Where growth plans are clearly defined Consider Room Power Medium Scale Where deployment is 10 to 50 racks  Consider Rack Power     Ultra Availability     Capacity Range     Flexibility                       Energy Efficiency   Serviceability    Monitoring
