Aligned Data Centers offera consumption-based pricing

BEIJING, August 27, 2015

Aligned Data Centers, a division of US-based Aligned Energy,  has introduced a pricing structure which is consumption-based in order to provide clients greater control over data centre cost and faster time-to-market.

Most data centres charge a rate based on fixed power requirements and densities and this necessitates the forecasting of future IT demand, which is difficult and results in inefficient use of resources, the company said.

“The current approach to the data centre needs to evolve to keep pace with changing IT needs”, said Jakob Carnemark, CEO of Aligned Data Centers. “Today, the cloud makes it possible to access compute and storage on-demand, scale quickly, and only pay for what you use. We are delivering the same approach to the data centre and are able to help our clients cut their colocation contract commitments by up to 75 per cent.”

Companies can now demand more or less data centre capacity as their business needs change, he said.

“We don’t believe in a trade-off between reliability and cost,” said Paul Fox, director of operations for Aligned Data Centers. “We are delivering enterprise grade data centres in a cost model that customers have been demanding for years.”

“Construction is nearing completion on the company’s Plano, Texas data centre. When finished, the 30 MW data centre will enable Aligned Data Centers’ clients to deploy multiple power densities within the same row and scale from 1-25 kW per rack. In addition, this multi-tenant data centre will feature the latest in energy efficient infrastructure, which uses 85 per cent less water than traditional air-cooled systems and allows Aligned Data Centers to guarantee its clients an industry leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15,” said a company statement.  

“We are excited to offer our clients the flexibility and efficiency they need to run the next-generation of IT,” said Fox.– TradeArabia News Service
