Nautilus Data Technologies Nautilus waterborne data center facilities are constructed on ocean-going barges. The barges are former military or construction ships with a 40 to 50 year extended life that are in robust working condition and meet all Coast Guard certifications. Nautilus’ first barge is currently under construction at California’s Mare Island where Nautilus has successfully validated its first proof of concept prototype data center. The proof of concept went through a certified third party data center pre-commissioning process and was validated by the engineering firms – Jacobs Engineering and Critical Engineering Group. Since it is five times more efficient to cool using water versus moving air, Nautilus’ patented cooling technology leverages the natural water that the barge safely rests on and allows the company to offer customers a high-density computing data center environment. Specifically, the waterborne data center can be configured and operated with up to 800 server racks deployed in less than six months anywhere around the world. Nautilus’ cloud solution automates the infrastructure in an open source environment agnostic to any data center, cloud or application. Additionally, Nautilus’ DCIM solution is predictive with integrated artificial intelligence that self heals and provides military-grade security. The Nautilus approach competes directly against the traditional or conventional data center approach by reducing the build time from two years to only six months. The green data center build by Nautilus has 19,000 tons of lower emissions (equivalent to approximately 3600 cars) as compared to the conventional data center. With a potential 50% annual energy savings, the Nautilus design could save clients up to $4 million in energy use cost. All of this is supported with our Patent- pending technology specific to Data Center Vessel, Modularity, Cooling System and Thermal Containment, Intelligent Power Management and DCIM with Predictive Analytics.
