I am in the process of building a house. I designed a room that can accommo=
date three 24 x 36 inch cabinets or four post racks. I will likely install =
a APC 2200 watt UPS in the bottom of two of the racks, and the third will b=
e a cross-connect field, patch panels, etc.
The room will have a small, ductless ac unit, maybe a ton or a little more,=
which should be good for about 3 to 5 kw of load.
The house is backed up by a 48 kw genset with an auto transfer switch.
The weakness will be only one provider of connectivity.
