- HPC containers and data centers require substantial power to run servers efficiently. As the size and capability of servers increase, the power required scales exponentially.
- As HPC solutions scale, power infrastructure becomes increasingly expensive. The relationship between performance (measured in MW) and costs is not linear:
- Basic containerized mining cooling solutions cost around $150K per 1MW.
- For HPC containers, it rises to $1.2M+ per 1MW due to higher density, cooling, and redundancy.
- Tier 3 data centers are even more costly, between $8M to $11M+ per 1MW.
