Databerg

A floating ocean data-centre concept for 2055, designed around remote operation, energy, safety, and cooling pressure.

Role
Research Lead — dashboard and maintenance, stakeholder/roadmap analysis, project video
Status
Group speculative concept
Year
2025

Overview

A group concept for a 2055 floating data centre, developed in response to the energy and cooling demands of computation.

Background

The project considered how an offshore data centre could be operated, maintained and monitored at a distance.

Response

Qinxuan led foresight research across technology, regulation and stakeholder needs, and developed a digital-twin interface concept for operating status, safety and energy use.

Collaboration

Group project. The contribution above does not claim sole authorship of CAD, CFD, FEA or simulation work.

Methods

Foresight research · Stakeholder analysis · Roadmap analysis · Interface concept development

Recognition

  • Imperial College London Design Engineering Selected Innovation Recognition

A speculative group concept, not a deployed data-centre system.
