Power needs determine the number and type of circuits needed within the rack, as well as the number of racks needed. The below power consumption calculator will aid in determining the size and number of circuits needed, the average power draw expected and the number of racks needed. Additionally, a related cost comparison of NetRiver’s service offering against the typical power/colocation offering in the Seattle area is provided to highlight efficiences in NetRiver’s metered power service offering and high density design.
Understanding the relation between space and power in your computing environment is crucial in determining the monthly recurring cost structure.
Provide ‘faceplate readings’ of all equipment to be located within the rack.
