“Customers will be charged for the computing power they actually use rather than the theoretical amount they could potentially utilize.”

“Aligned Energy technology company, parent company to the Aligned Data Center in Phoenix, has developed a new green energy power generation for its data centers using waste heat.”

“A new $300 million, 100,000-square-foot data center in Dallas, Texas, is the first to take a cue from the public clouds by similarly letting tenants pay for computing power based on actual use.”

“In Plano, one of the area’s growing data center markets, Aligned Data Centers, a division of Aligned Energy, has opened a center that offers a “pay-as-you-go” program in power usage. […] The company has a program that lets clients pay only for the power they use, as opposed to paying an upfront rate.”

“Customers of Aligned Data Center’s 100,000-sf facility in Dallas, Texas, pay only for the energy they use, in a program aimed at helping clients more precisely approximate their energy needs. This same pricing program will be used for Aligned’s 550,000-sf data center in Phoenix.”

“Through the Climeon partnership, Aligned developed technology to essentially allow buildings to generate electricity from low-grade waste heat. […] Aligned's data centers enjoy a power-usage effectiveness rating of 1.15, compared to the typical enterprise data center's 2.0 or above. The rating compares the total amount of electricity consumed versus what's needed for the computing and networking equipment.”
