DeepSea HUB
Ocean-Based Digital Infrastructure Leveraging Natural
Ocean Cooling for Maximum Efficiency and Infinite Scale
DeepSea HUB
DeepSea HUB is a pioneering ocean-based digital
infrastructure currently under joint development by
University of Texas Dallas and VL Offshore, funded
by the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E program.
Key Advantages
•
Passive Ocean Cooling: Utilizes natural ocean
cooling, achieving very low PUE and zero WUE,
drastically reducing the operating costs.
•
Modules-at-Sea: A framework built for rapid,
phased expansion in the open ocean, allowing
scalability to match demand.
•
Ultra-Low Latency: Strategic coastal positioning
near metropolitan hubs for real-time AI and edge
computing.
•
Integrated Energy Storage: Co-design with
battery energy storage system (BESS), maximizing
power stability and efficiency.
•
Agile Logistics: Innovative deployment and module
retrieval methods eliminating the need for expensive,
specialized heavy-lift vessels.
•
System Reliability: High-tension vertical mooring
minimizes movements to provide the stable, "land-
like" subsea platform required for sensitive hardware
in ocean environments.
•
Wind-Enhanced Redundancy: Co-location with
offshore wind creates a hybrid power model that
stabilizes grid load and ensures uninterrupted
operation.
Core Technical Innovations
•
Decentralized Production: We circumvent limited
shipyard capacity through modular manufacturing,
enabling faster, distributed deployment.
•
On-Water Assembly: Direct on-water assembly of
modules reduces land-space requirements and
streamlines the supply chain for a faster time-to-
market.
•
Mission-Critical Blue Power:
Our proprietary MarsVAWT (Vertical Axis Wind
Turbine) power generation system features a low
center of gravity for maximum floating system stability
in extreme maritime conditions. This off-grid solution
provides reliable, cost-effective power to remote
ocean facilities.
Path Forward
Following successful VAWT validation in wind/wave
basin, we are transitioning to scaled lab-testing of the
DeepSea HUB and our high-efficiency rotors. These
trials will confirm long-term operational reliability and
power delivery integrity.
Partnering
We are seeking strategic partners and visionary
investors to help co-develop the future of AI-ready,
subsea infrastructure. We invite collaboration in
subsea cooling, server architecture, networking,
monitoring, subsea cabling, and sea trials.
