What your continuous load may be, and what the maximum allowable continuous load is, is different.
If you have a 20 amp breaker, max continuous load is 16 amps. This is not questioned by anyone (20 / 1.25).
16 amps continuous load times 1.25 allowed spike load is, guess what? 20 amps - the size of the breaker.
If your datacenter doesn't define operating requirements in their environment stricter than those defined by laws / the NEC, then you should be able to spike non-continuous load to 20 amps without an issue.0
