Presentation - Floating data centers, a new route to quick AI capacity expansion

03 Jun 2026
Engage Stage, hosted by Equinix
Gold Zone

This session will explore how FDCs can combine maritime assets, modular deployment, flexible power strategies, and seawater-enabled cooling to create a new pathway for scalable infrastructure delivery.

We will examine where this model is most relevant, what technical questions matter most, and which customer use cases are likely to move first.

Attendees will gain a clearer view of how floating data centers can fit into AI-era capacity planning - not as a concept for the distant future, but as a commercially relevant option for operators, cloud platforms, and enterprise customers facing real deployment constraints today.
