[AusNOG] What's Typical Power Density in Colo?

[Sean K. Finn]

Your likely main cost will be related to power, actual rack SPACE seems to be secondary.

'afternoon folks!

If I want to get East-Coast (not Sydney) based Colo for a fully populated blade chassis, any recommendations?

More specifically, I'm interested in options where I don't have to lease an entire rack due to my need to run up to 4KW theoretical load (actual sustained loading is well under this).  There seems to be a lot of colo out there at the 10-to-16A (N+1) level and not a lot
of options above this.  What's typical in the Aussie market?  (i'm a Kiwi - don't hold it against me...)

If I wind up with no choice I guess I can look at leasing a full Rack, but i'd prefer to lease a half-rack if that's practical... a few spare RU's will be handy, but not necessarily a whole rack worth!

Must be N+1 (ala fully redundant power) and have reasonable connectivity.

Cheers in advance for any advice, on or offlist as appropriate.

Regards
