How to generate channel requirements for a data center?

Question

Computer networks

Introductory:
The bigboss has megawatt power inputs, huge empty factory territories, cheap kilowatts. He was advised that the resource data can be disposed of by raising the data center with the rental of racks / servers. As it happens with big bosses, he wants to consult at the zero stage only with his people (with me), please, we will not assess the adequacy of this approach within the framework of this issue. Naturally, if there was a real opportunity, I would outsource the calculation of this issue.
The question was asked: How to calculate the required Internet connection channels for a potential data center.
Those. there is probably an empirical formula that you need so many gigabits per unit, plus a coefficient, for example, for shared traffic, in total we get N gigabits per data center with M racks of L units.
So far, the calculation is required purely approximate in order to understand if there are provider nodes nearby that are capable of providing such channels.

Answer 1

Raising a data center is not the same as having customers and making a profit. If you can't calculate the most basic, how can you provide the actual work itself, advertising, customer service?
It is easier to search for and rent out premises to those who are already involved in data centers.

Answer 2

I can only speak from my data.
Usually I rent servers for 1GB ...
It is used from 30-70% of the channel. In most cases, no more than 50% ...
Then I would calculate as follows - how many racks \ servers can be cram, Internet - 100mb per 1 server + routing losses and so on ... Do not forget about yourself, office and so on.
In Russia, they usually give 100mb (if the money is for the norm, and not three skins) ... Accordingly, apparently they are counting on this option for business development.
