This.

A local to me ~40W datacenter used to be in really high demand, and despite having excess rack space, had no excess power. It was crazy.

Yeah, it was the companies pilot site, and everything about it is tiny.

But it very quickly became the best place in town for carrier interconnection. So every carrier wanted in.

Even when bigger local DC's went in, a lot of what they were doing was just landing virtual cross connects to the tiny one, because thats where everyone was.

You lost a M or K next to your W.

I still have an Edison bulb that consumes more power.
