structure and team members , they are all made up of previous major data centre suppliers who collectively have built hundreds of data centres across the world .
“ They all made the jump over to us and our data centre systems and are some of the most accomplished people in the data centre sector . Hopefully that will tell you something about what we do here and our vision for the future of this technology ,” he stated .
The immediate future and planning goals Connaughton describes his business as a “ very thoughtful start-up ” but added that he didn ’ t want it to “ get ahead of itself .” He thinks the main aim right now for the business is to raise and maintain visibility , which has been the case with rolling out their first project and has prompted interest in what Nautilus does .
“ So right now we are working on fitting out the first facility in Stockton , California and then working on two new locations , one in Maine in the northeast of the US and one in western Ireland , which we think are both good as global hubs for the technology as they are on both sides of the Atlantic .
Then next year we are looking at city centre locations which will have the ability to deliver large-scale infrastructure .”
He added that half of the new locations are in fully developed markets and half in leading emerging markets . “ We ’ re being quite thoughtful of what our customer class is and at the same time geographic diversity so we can create some acceleration in the adoption of the technology . Then it ’ s a case of firming up the engineering packages we can offer , along with the licensing program ,” he goes on : “ The idea is then partners can come to us and we already have the engineering , manufacturing and vendor processes and we can provide the licensing and procurement schedules . We want to make the whole process really easy for the data centre developers , offering a complete package .
“ Having the prefabricated modular design enables business to move quickly and provides the highest level of computing , the lowest environmental footprint and the greatest social gain at the same time ,” Connaughton concludes .
