With the rapid introduction of cloud computing, both by third party vendors such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, combined with the coming explosion of ultra portable, always connected devices is fueling another round of data center growth and innovation. However, with data center operating expenses growing to be 7x those of the upfront server’s capital cost, coupled with increasingly obsolete data center infrastructure, all of which is driven by power requirements from server consumption, power delivery and cooling, the economics of this utopia are becoming challenging.

About the CleanTX Forum
The CleanTX Forum provides the networking and environment for professionals interested in learning more about clean technologies and building the Texas clean technology community. Our mission is to promote entrepreneurship in the field of clean technology and renewable energy in Texas, by providing a forum for executives, entrepreneurs, investors and analysts to share real-world experiences, opportunities, and challenges in the field. The CleanTX Forum will also schedule ad hoc events when clean technology leaders are available to travel to Texas. We will also announce and support workshops, provide demonstrations of new technologies in the community, deliver leading clean technology content, and highlight Texas’ growing list of clean technology successes.
