When you tell people you're building a GPU cloud, they assume Northern Virginia or the Bay Area. We chose Houston, and it wasn't sentimental. It was arithmetic on three constraints that matter more to a circular fleet than to a conventional one.
Logistics is half our business
A conventional cloud takes delivery of new hardware a few times a year. We take delivery constantly: pallets of decommissioned servers moving from enterprise sites to our lab, and certified racks moving out. Houston is one of the great logistics cities in North America: port access, freight corridors in every direction, and a deep bench of industrial space near the airport. Our intake dock matters as much as our server room.
Power, and the grid's direction of travel
Texas has some of the most abundant and competitively priced power in the country, and ERCOT's buildout of wind and solar keeps bending the grid greener. For a company whose whole identity is footprint reduction, siting the fleet where renewable capacity is growing fastest is the consistent choice.
Close to the hardware
Texas is dense with exactly the enterprise and energy-sector datacenters whose refresh cycles feed our supply. Shorter hauls mean cheaper acquisition, less transit damage, and, fittingly, less freight carbon between the shredder we intercept and the rack we redeploy into.
1515 Aldine Meadows Road is home. If you're nearby and want to see the lab, ask. We like showing it off.
