"Backblaze Rides the Nautilus Data Center Wave"

“On the outside and on the inside, our newest data center (DC) is more
than a little different: there are no cooling towers chugging on the
roof, no chillers, or coolants at all. No, we’re not doing a drive stats experiment on how well data centers run at 54° Celsius. This data
center, owned and developed by Nautilus Data Technologies, is nice and
cool inside. Built with a unique mix of proven maritime and industrial water-cooling technologies that use river water to cool everything inside—racks, servers, switches, and people—this new DC is innovative, environmentally awesome, secure, fascinating, and other such words and phrases, all rolled into one. And it just happens to be located on a
barge on a river in California.”

OK, this is a very wild data center.
