Looking for Europe colocation with metered, low cost electricity
hey folks,
I am looking to colocate around 13U of servers/switch, some of which have GPUs inside, though they don't run 100% of the time. electricity price at home is excessive.
The best solution, but we can look at other options, would be something like this:
- 13U+ Must be able to host servers at 87cm post-to-post. (If it really changes things we can probably make it become 12U)
- 4x16A or 2x32A circuit (to be used 80%) with metered / switched per-socket (I can provide PDUs if necessary). The maximum consumption which you will not often see is 8kW.
- 3 kW always on plus a metered option for extra or average consumption. For average i think we should calculate 5 kW. For metered, anything above 0.26eur /kwh (PUE included) is disqualifying. We are probably looking at France or Nordics i guess.
- OOB access for IPMI
- 10 Gb link with 25TB or 1G link.
- 8 IPs
If anybody is willing to, I'd be happy to discuss.
I have some options which are very doable price wise for this in the US but I am just a bit worried tomorrow Trump siezes everything or ceases trade with my country (Switzerland), lol.

You do not have a chance for 0.26EUR per kwh in Europe currently, unless you look at Nordic countries, but I am hearing some change of market there as well. Home power is usually cheaper than datacenters.
I could probably do more fixed + metered overusage, however not at 0.26EUR per kwh.
PS. I think you had a ticket with us, responded back with some additional options.
