Server grade CPUs. I thought he was referring to Epyc CPUs.
The rack mount Mac Pro doesn't really make sense for a data center. It's 5U high, which is much too big for a data center. It doesn't have standard server features like redundant power supplies.
The only use case I can think of is for audio workstations, where people have lots of rack mount equipment, so you can have everything including the computer in the rack. But even for that use case it's quite big.
At least judging by the mounts, they want them to be used that way, even though the CPU might not fit with the de facto industry label for "server-grade".
