The business model created at the top of the green data center shows that it is the big projects that make clean energy attractive.

In Tuesday, in Amsterdam, GIGAOM convened the structural European Affairs Conference, with two 17815.html "> Renewable Energy Data Centers building relevant corporate executives said the key to driving the use of clean energy in data centers is scale." Jules Verne Global chief technology officer Tate Cantrell and Green Cloud founder Eirikur Hrafnsson companies are selling green data center services to IT companies through large data devices that can effectively assemble clean energy costs to a large scale.

Cantrell believes Apple is the only company in North Carolina to build such a large-scale solar power plant to provide energy to data centers, because it has reached a considerable scale of calculation. He added that building a clean energy company for a relatively small data center operator would not cost savings.

Hrafnsson that network computing has grown so much that it fundamentally needs to use more renewable energy. He also believes that in the future, internet companies will take more account of low-cost geographic location and reliable clean energy when deciding on location centers for data centers.
