Yeah- kind of tangental but it also plays along with how datacenters are transitioning from selling space to selling power. It used to be I'd just rent space by the rack or by the U, and then maybe pay extra for the network connection. Now the space itself is pretty cheap, and the network hookups are unbelievably cheap, but datacenters are actually paying attention to power consumption.
In the case of the DGX-1 I've had datacenters tell me I couldn't put more than two in a rack. We ended up finding a datacenter the specialized in them (Colovore, who I can not recommend highly enough)- their power and cooling systems are some of the most impressive I've ever seen.
