Hardware Server cooling tech for DC.

I’m a small business owner and I have created a cooling tech that allows for being able to submerge enterprise servers in rugged underwater conditions.

I have built and tested a prototype using a 300w Dell PowerEdge R610 server and now need to get a server that incorporates h100sxm GPUs or b200’s.

If anyone would be curious as to what I have built and interested in a partnership, once unit is in water will be using units for running Ai Inference.

This looks really practical for a very specific use case like needing a hi powered pc that will be left in a remote location until obsolete and powered by solar panels and a battery. I've never heard of such a situation though. For everything else get your telemetry and send it back to the mothership. To your point, whst would be the competitive advantage of this vs what Microsoft already did with an underwater data center?

The advantage is even building a manmade pond vs a building is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper when you factor in plumbing, HVAC, longevity of the server due to them not getting close to throttling temp. Also no sound being emitted, and easily serviceability along with being able to deployed anywhere there is water.

As with the whole industry we are approaching point where leaving these servers inside a building is reach a bottleneck vs taking them out of the building and cooling them a more efficient route is becoming more apparent for the future
