Allocated power draw, also known as draw cap, is a threshold measured in kilovolt-amperes (kVA). Equinix’s approach right-sizes the planned capacity of power and associated cooling for each Secure Cabinet.

Protect your deploymentChoosing the right draw cap for your needs prevents overuse of power and cooling in the shared environment.

By leveraging draw cap, you can concentrate on your business requirements instead of the technical details of colocated space and power.
