What that means per rack and per GPU
Fits about four DGX H100 systems. The most common quote for a first GPU deployment.
GB200 NVL72 territory. Expect a liquid-cooling premium and longer lead times on top.
DGX H100 at 10.2 kW for eight GPUs. Compare with on-demand H100 rental on the rental page.
Examples use the typical range of $130–$300/kW; multiply a market's row by your kW for a market-specific figure.
Hidden costs the $/kW rate does not include
Ask every facility to itemize these before comparing headline rates.
Cross-connects
Each fiber or copper link to a carrier, cloud on-ramp, or another cage is billed monthly per connection. Training fabrics that span racks may need dozens.
Remote hands
Reboots, cable swaps, and drive replacements are billed hourly, often with a monthly minimum. Ask for the rate card and whether a block of hours is included.
Liquid-cooling premium
Direct-to-chip and rear-door heat exchanger positions carry a higher $/kW than air-cooled racks, and coolant distribution units may be a separate capital or monthly charge.
Setup and installation fees
One-time charges for cage build-out, power whips, PDUs, and initial racking. Negotiable on longer terms.
Minimum term and ramp
Most high-density contracts run 24–36 months. Some operators offer a power ramp so you pay for committed kW as hardware arrives; others bill the full commitment from day one.
Power metering model
Quotes may be for committed (contracted) kW, metered actual draw plus a base fee, or a blended rate. Compare on the same basis before deciding.
