In all fairness, civil servants often get
stuck with jobs that fall outside their realm of expertise, but need to get
done none the less. Also remember that the budget of a public school is a
little different from yours, and does not have the in-house resources of a
telecom focused business. At least he was smart enough to know where to go for some
help.
He didn't ask anyone to design his
power setup, or his cages. He simply asked for some insight to make sure the
way his electrical engineer was doing things wouldn't cause more problems
down the road.

I think maybe the reason you are being flamed is because generally
people put in charge with the design/roll out of a data center environment
should already know something about the logistics of such a project. Whether it
is power, network, or pretty much any aspect of it for that matter. Also it can
be fairly hard to determine the power requirements of a location without
specific information, and the lack of said information probably frustrated
people.
Just a little editorial on why you may be getting flamed.

To throw some water on the flames that
I have been receiving, I will be posting a summary of everyone's good
information this weekend when I get time. It is my intention to make that
information available to the community. Calling me names is childish and
unnecessary. Again, thanks to those that took the time to participate.
