A Cisco 12012 requires 2 -48VDC 60A circuits. 3 6509's require 6 20A 110VAC,
and would fit in a single rack. Larger routers require even more current.
I'm not a web server guy, but I'd imagine that 32 1RU PII's would consume
a fair amount of current oo.
100A/rack seems like a reasonable specification. It's cheaper to install
lots of power at the offset than it is to retrofit and run additional
power case by case after the facility is opened.
