Often overlooked is the fact that servers today consume so
much power that the maximum number that can be installed in a
rack is limited by the power budget of that rack. Add to that
the cost of a colocation rack at an average of $800/month for
a 40-amp rack, versus $500/month for a 15-amp rack, and the
same savings potential of using low power
lopoco servers gets even
higher, and you no longer have to fear those dreaded power
overage charges from your colo.
You can safely put 33
lopoco servers in a 15-amp rack,
while you can only put between 6 and 12 conventional entry level
servers in a 40-amp rack, which costs $300/month more than a
15-amp rack (average colocation per-rack price).
