Default Power to the Rack

Over on Server Technology's Data Center Power Blog, Bob Parente gives a neat, non-technical overview of how to provision power to a rack -- a common question on these forums. He notes that there are 3 ways to add rack power: higher voltage, more amps and additional circuits. A chart helps visualize what it takes to supply various capacities in kW at different voltages.

Check out the whole article here: http://info.servertech.com/blog/bid/...ta-Center-Rack
