Stephen, in phase 1 of our data centre build we are installing 120 usable cabs with 4 x 120kW computer room air handling systems (CRAHs). Allowing for N+1 redundancy we therefore have 360kW of cooling in the room. So our design limit for the room cooling is 3kW average per rack.

How cool is this? It’s a blog talking about the Cork Internet Exchange’s data centers it covers a range of topics and is well worth a read, gets a bit technical for me, but still very interesting, shown me that I need to read up on the data center power topics more. There’s a post on carbon neutral data centers which is worth a look, linking to an IPCC report.
