| A few racks or even a couple of dozen racks could be called a datacenter, but nothing on any real scale. Enough to host important and niche things? Sure. I was referring more to like the size of what you might see in Quincy, WA. |

| ▲ | jacquesm an hour ago | parent [-] | | By 1990's standards that was small. Today it is tiny. | | |
| ▲ | martinjc 25 minutes ago | parent [-] | | In the US the most common deployed size is below 5MW? Dont know why i can't reply to the person commenting below. But where's the statistics? Who has these datacenters out in the field? | | |
| ▲ | jacquesm 8 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Yes, but that's not where the volume is. A 'small' data center, even here in Europe has 100's of racks. There are of course many tiny ones but collectively they don't even add up to one single large Google or AWS DC. Those things will run in excess of 1 or even 2 GW. |
