Power Consumption in Rack/Blade Servers?
Does anyone have further details on what the peak & average power consumption of a rack mounted server (1U/2U) or blade is in a typical datacenter?
I have seen the data from SpecPower, but that is a single source. I'm looking for further sources of information as a sanity check.
My interests lies in right sizing of PSU's & power designs at server level, with an eye to optimizing them for real life server use.

- lambertini,
You should also check out our Power and Cooling wiki page - http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Data+Center+Power+and+Cooling
It contains the link to the power calculator and whitepapers around power consumption in the datacenter.

Ours is here - http://www.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/pedge/topics/en/config_calculator?c=us&l=en&cs=555
You can easily find HP's and IBM's from a google search - I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader :-)
