The most environmentally sustainable facility boasts a cooling cost reduction of 30 per cent compared to land-based counterparts by using natural sources such as wind and water to cool down servers. Unlike traditional data centers that rely on massive amounts of water for cooling, Nautilus consumes no water. Placed on a barge it utilizes the naturally-cooled water below the barge to reduce the temperature in the facility.
According to Nautilus, traditional data centers are unsustainable; US data centers are expected to consume 140 billion kilowatt-hours annually by 2020, costing American businesses USD 13 billion a year in electricity bills and emitting nearly 100 million metric tons of carbon pollution per year.
Whereas Nautilus will help its customers reduce both their data center expenses and carbon footprints. Nautilus first commercial waterborne data center is being built at a Northern California Naval Shipyard and will be deployed at a secure port next year.
