How to determine Server Room size and power requirements
Dear Community.
I am responsible for allocating size for our company's server room. We are soon to be purchasing some servers. My questions are,
-How do I choose an appropriate size for my server room given the number or footprint of my servers? (Does this answer cater for growth?)
-How do I calculate my electrical power requirements for my servers to that I can allow an electrician to do proper electrical wiring?(Does this answer cater for growth as well?)
Many thanks!

Right, the power requirement is what it is, and that is not going to change unless you were previously using 120VAC. Whether it is 10KVA or 100KVA, your hands are tied, except when it comes to the thermostat.
Excellent point, dlethe. Electrical plans have to go through a qualified engineer, permit office, and inspector. None of those will accept your notes or estimations as final data.
