What I am telling you is that racks aren't getting more packed. They are getting less. I do capacity planning every day for datacenters. Maybe in the hosting world. But there are many datacenters outside the hosting world. There are plenty of companies who have in-house datacenters. For the most part only hosting Disaster Recovery in a datacenter.
