The process

We've taken the complexity out of deploying subsea.

Every project follows a clear, client-tested process: fast installation, continuous monitoring, and seamless lifecycle management, with minimal risk and maximum return.

Five steps, one path to deployment

From first assessment to 25-year lifecycle.

01 Assessment
Step one
Assessment

We begin with a deep dive into your requirements: energy, connectivity, and workload. Our team maps coastal and offshore sites, evaluates grid or renewable power options, and checks subsea cable access.

OutputA tailored feasibility report with cost, timeline, and regulatory considerations.
Step two
Design & Engineering

Every unit is customized to your compute profile. We configure rack density, power envelope, and network interfaces, while handling all environmental and regulatory screenings.

ResultAn engineered solution that meets your workload, compliance, and other goals.
Step three
Deployment

The units are fabricated, transported, and installed offshore using proven marine engineering methods. Typical timeline: 12 weeks from contract to live deployment.

BenefitInstant scalability at a fraction of the time and cost.
Step four
Operation & Monitoring

Once deployed, units are continuously monitored with predictive analytics and remote telemetry. Our team (or yours) can oversee uptime, redundancy, and environmental safety.

ConfidenceEnterprise-grade SLAs, backed by round-the-clock monitoring.
Step five
Retrieval & Lifecycle

Units are designed for modular swap-outs — retrieved, serviced, and redeployed with minimal disruption. End-of-life units are responsibly decommissioned. Expected unit life is 25+ years.

SustainabilityClosed-loop lifecycle management aligned with environmental standards.
Why subsea

Four reasons the ocean is the better place for compute.

🌿
Environmental

Each unit deployed can cut 800–3,500 tons of annual carbon emissions versus a traditional data center, depending on configuration.

🔌
Infrastructure

With hundreds of subsea cables and thousands of offshore assets, our data centers easily access both power and connectivity.

❄️
Cooling

Eliminating electrically driven cooling delivers a further 40% cut in CO₂ emissions compared to land-based facilities.

Reduced Latency

Over half the global population lives near a coast. Positioning compute closer to shore reduces latency and lifts performance.
