Join AFCOM's June webinar to learn about the thermodynamics of ocean currents and how our seas can potentially provide a sustainable approach to cooling data centers.

The data center industry is continually looking for ways to innovate its cooling methods. While advancements in immersion and free-air have occurred in recent years, ocean-based cooling is still considered to be unlikely or even impossible.

Presented by Kyle Burton, Founder and President of NZE (Net-Zero Edge), this webinar will discuss the ways in which this so-called "crazy" idea may not be so crazy. With baseline data available from non-IT sectors like oil and gas, plus interesting anecdotes from existing subsea data center projects from companies like Microsoft, this presentation will highlight the ways in which ocean cooling may be attainable in the near future.

This special AFCOM Webinar | A Deep Dive Into Ocean-Cooled Data Centers will feature expert insights on the following topics:

  • The history of ocean-cooled infrastructure in other sectors
  • The ways in which data centers could be improved with subsea placement
  • The potential for energy savings and related GHG emissions reductions
  • Environmental concerns caused by placing heat-generating infrastructure on the seafloor
  • How moving from land to sea may affect operational excellence
  • The future of net-zero data centers
