At 100G and up the optics, not the fibre, set the cost. Connected cost per port = switch $/port + one cable, or + two optics plus fibre. GPU-fabric links are estimated all-optical: GPU node density (1–3 HGX nodes per 40 kW rack) puts most nodes past passive-copper reach of their leaf, since a 3 m DAC spans at most the adjacent rack. Mixing copper in is realistic — expect 25% or more of fabric cables to land as passive DAC once installation is engineered (peer links, co-racked leaf↔spine, nodes in or beside the leaf's rack) — but which links qualify depends on rack elevations, so estimates stay optical and copper is taken as a savings at engineering time.",

So estimate every GPU-fabric link (host to leaf and leaf to spine) as optical — 2× short-reach optics + multimode fibre, or AOC — never as passive DAC. Mixing copper in is entirely realistic: which links can drop to passive DAC (or 5 m AEC) depends on how racks, switches and elevations are actually installed — switch peer links, co-racked leaf↔spine, and nodes in or adjacent to the leaf's rack all qualify, and 25% of fabric cables landing as copper DAC is a reasonable minimum expectation.

  },
  {
   "question": "What circuit does an 8× RTX PRO 6000 server need?",
   "answer": "Any 8x RTX PRO 6000 server at 600 W caps: plan 6.8 kW nameplate (5.5 kW with cards capped at 450 W), provision 8.5 kW, one 208V 3-phase 30A circuit pair (A+B) per server; where three-phase is unavailable, 208V single-phase 50A. A 30A single-phase (L6-30) cannot carry it even at 450 W caps. Four servers per 40 kW rack. 200-240 V input only; the box needs four 3000-3200 W supplies in 3+1 for redundancy (Dell XE7745 matrix, ASUS/Supermicro/Exxact/GIGABYTE all ship that). Computed per build on the [power page](/power); the Tier 1 build is 6,780 W nameplate, 8.47 kW provisioned."

  {
   "question": "What does colocation cost?",
   "answer": "Colocation is billed on provisioned kW: $175/kW/month on a 5-year term, $225/kW/month on a 3-year term, $250/kW/month on a 1-year term, US or Canada. Provisioned kW = nameplate W ÷ 0.8 so no circuit runs above 80%, with A and B feeds each sized for the whole box. Example: one B300 node at 16.96 kW is $2,968/mo 5-yr · $3,816/mo 3-yr · $4,240/mo 1-yr."

  },
  {
   "question": "Can I get a different configuration?",
   "answer": "Each class has one priced base build. Intel and AMD equivalents are listed with a host delta. Memory, CPU and drive changes are priced with the rate card (marginal $/GB, $/core, $/TB) applied to the base build; options such as NICs, drives and warranty have signed price deltas. Anything marked quote, or outside the rate-card bands, is quoted by UpStation."

  {
   "question": "How many storage nodes does 2 PB usable need?",
   "answer": "With RAID 6 in 10+2 groups (0.833 efficiency) and an 85% fill ceiling, one 2U HDD storage node, single socket, 24x 24TB SAS (576TB raw) plans to 407.8 TB, so 2,000 TB needs 5 nodes (2,039.0 TB plannable, $258,717.25 for the nodes). Distributed with Ceph erasure coding 4+2 it takes 8 nodes (2,285.9 TB plannable) because Ceph also keeps (N−1)/N in reserve for self-healing and needs at least 6 hosts. Storage software is buyer-supplied; see the worked design."
  },
  {
   "question": "How many switches does a B300 cluster need?",
   "answer": "One 800G port per GPU at 1:1. 4 nodes (32 ports) fit one 32× 800G OSFP switch ($37,499); 8 nodes fit one 64-port switch; 32 nodes (256 ports) need 8 leaves and 4 spines on 64-port switches, 256 host links and 256 uplinks. Add a front-end switch pair and one 48× 1G OOB switch per rack; the worked design prices the 4-node case with storage."

   "note": "Fabric cabling rule made explicit: GPU node density (1–3 HGX nodes per 40 kW rack) puts most nodes in a different rack from their leaf switches, so estimates price every GPU-fabric link as optical (2× short-reach optics + fibre, or AOC); passive DAC is a final-engineering substitution for proven in-rack or adjacent-rack links (25%+ of fabric cables landing as copper is a reasonable expectation, taken as a savings then, not in the estimate). Worked design updated to match. Prices unchanged."
