Very limited power and cooling as built, not too future proof

0

The article states..." A Liebert 100kVA UPS" ...

One rack with 4 10G IBM blade centers (14 servers x 4 blade centers or 56 Quad core CPU's with two physical cores per server) can use double this much peak power N+1, or 200 kva. From the power/cooling budget (unless there is a very slow projected growth rate of data and systems) this design may not be future proof or scalable from the power and cooling perspective beyond 2 years or so. What happens when systems go to 8 way cores for example?
