Hi,
I've been looking at the power requirements for HP blade servers. Using
their power calculator, I need 80 Amps, roughly 1.6 Amps per blade (2 x
dual core opterons in each blade). Anyone have any opionions on whether
this is a 'real world' figure? Or are HP being conservative? If so, how
conservative?
I'm asking because if I require more than 64 Amps in the data centre,
we'll have to provision for more power and cooling, which will be
expensive.
