A+B Power and kW Selection in Colocation

1 min read 2 questions answered

What A+B feeds mean

A and B are independent power paths. Dual PSUs on both paths keep services up if one side fails. Tier III continuity during maintenance relies on this architecture.

How to size kW

Prefer measured draw over summed nameplate watts and leave headroom. Dense NUMA, GPUs or disk arrays raise kW quickly.

  • Record average and peak consumption
  • Add 20–30% growth buffer
  • Balance load across A and B where possible

PDU and contract notes

  1. Choose metered/switched PDUs based on monitoring needs
  2. Plan hardware within contracted amp/kW limits
  3. Clarify power upgrade lead times with the NOC early

KuzeyDC colocation power options scale from 0.5 kW to 10 kW+; accurate kW sizing is critical for both SLA and cost.

2 questions answered
Do single-PSU servers benefit from A+B?

Only partially—single PSU stays on one path. Dual PSUs on both feeds are recommended for full redundancy.

What happens if kW is exceeded?

Facilities may enforce limits for safety; additional power requires an upgrade quote.
