Sustainable Digital Solutions: Unprecedented Collaboration Drives Success of Innovative Water-Based Data Center

And not only we support the higher performance compute available with the lowest environmental impact enabling the greatest social gain. Where we're at today is the Stockton One data center. It is first commissioned data center, and it's a seven megawatt facility, and it holds our proprietary water cooling system. So a colocation data center is nothing without its connectivity. We had to have low latency. And so UTG, we were able to work with them to create an eighteen mile fiber ring. So that way, we provide that prime last mile connectivity with the lowest latency possible. In making the from land to the data center, which is on water, we had to do some things a little bit different. So as we look to this project and inherent complexities, building almost twenty miles of fiber. We went to Clearfield as a partner to determine which of their comprehensive suite of product best meet our needs in different areas of the project. Utility telecom and Clearfield, we've been working for a number of years together. This particular deployment had some unique challenges the environment was limited access getting into the data center, but then also space requirements and not having traditional rack space We went overhead in some applications for some access points. So I think the product mix and the labor form, Clearfield played really well with what Utility Telecom was looking to do here. Clearfield brought important things to the table. It was really their flexibility and the breadth of their product line that allowed us to do everything we wanted to do, but the really the pre and post sale support really made a difference. Clearfield was a partner in some of the design. So we really felt that they were partnering with us to help us be successful. All of the parties involved were very much willing to work together, yes, it's a data center on water. And yes, we have a proprietary water cooling system, but we still needed to brain a very high level product. So we could come and bring a proven practical solution that's more efficient, more sustainable, and will move the data center industry forward in the right direction. I think the uniqueness of this project and looking back, you know, it's really nice to be part of something from the beginning through the conception and from a napkin drawing to seeing it actually get delivered and then implemented. It's a core value of Clearfields being able to collaborate and make our customers successful.
