Backblaze has expanded its data center portfolio by contracting 1MW of capacity at Nautilus's floating data center in Stockton, California. This facility takes advantage of naturally cooled water to reduce its environmental impact.

The Stockton data center is the world's first floating data center and uses the natural water surrounding the facility for cooling. It runs with net-zero water consumption and no refrigerants or water treatment chemicals.

Nautilus's 7MW Stockton facility lives on a barge, enabling it to take advantage of naturally cooled water. The barge takes in external water, holding it for ~15 seconds to transfer heat to it from an internal closed loop of pure water via a heat exchanger.

Backblaze has also expanded with a new data region in the Eastern United States. This U.S. East data region provides more location choice overall, bringing increased access speed for customers based in the Eastern U.S.

The new region is located in Reston, Virginia, and features an exabyte of capacity with room to grow further. It supports SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, and HIPAA compliance requirements.
