USA marketplace , he adds . The vessel was built at the yard of Linn Marine at Mare Island just 45 miles north of Nautilus ’ headquarters . Here too the company is currently building a much larger 500-rack data centre . Named Eli M , it is 230ft long and 55ft wide , nearly as big as a football field .
Sustainable By siting the data centre racks on a floating facility – basically a barge – a very high density could be achieved , reducing the footprint of the data centre by a factor of 60 %. The modular build methodology
also allows Nautilus to deploy additional facilities in the same location , using the same connectivity and backbone infrastructure , by bringing another vessel to the site as demand dictates .
The impact on its environment is greatly improved . The racks of servers are on the data deck with mechanical and electrical equipment and UPS systems housed below . Cooling is achieved through an open loop that draws in seawater and returns it to the ocean at a differential temperature no more than four degrees
