So if you build a decent sized data center to consume 160 MWh you can get 2 SMRs and call it a day. Or you can buy 480 Tesla MegaPacks (about 6 acres) and 1600 acres (it's roughly 1 MW per 5 acres) of solar panels to run the DC and cha

I would assume the MSP is running a dedicated instance and can do a full/backup restore just for the user they're supporting. If it's some multi-tenant solution it's no better.
