We’ve started carrying out power audit work at the Sheffield Data Centre, accurately documenting what each customer & device is allocated, and what it’s using.
All co-lo customers will be contacted over the weekend with regards to what they’re allowed, and if they’re using any excess, but for the sake of completeness here are the allowances (unless by prior arrangement):
—

- 1A power
Quarter Rack
- 4 x power sockets
- 2A power
Half Rack
- 6 x power sockets
- 5A power
Full Rack

All prices exclude VAT.
Customers are not permitted to plug devices direct into the UPS, only into PDU’s provided by us.
Customers may provide their own additional PDU’s, but they should plug into our PDU. We use our PDU as the measuring point for power consumed.

Our wholesale energy prices have increased this year, we’ve decided not to pass on this cost to customers at this time, however we will be invoicing customers more activly with regards to their actual power and socket usage.
