SAN FRANCISCO , CA, UNITED STATES, July 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Subsea Cloud, the manufacturer of underwater data centers, has launched offices in the Middle East and Australia. The Australian branch serves the Asia-Pacific region. Both locations are now fully operational.
Additionally, the company revealed a partnership with Deep/C Systems, a Hawaii-based organization. This collaboration focuses on military deployments in the Indo-Pacific, where U.S. and allied forces require compute infrastructure built to endure in a contested environment.
Subsea Cloud designs, constructs, and runs modular data center units placed on the seabed. The surrounding seawater provides cooling, which eliminates active cooling from the system entirely, reduces CO2 emissions by roughly 40%, and cuts costs by 70‑80% compared to land-based equivalents. The pods operate at depths ranging from 20 feet to 3,000 feet.
“The Middle East and Asia-Pacific are adding compute capacity faster than they can build the land and cooling infrastructure to hold it,” said Maxie Reynolds, founder and CEO of Subsea Cloud. “Both regions have long coastlines, deep water close to shore, and sovereign customers who want their data inside their own jurisdiction. Offices in the Middle East and Australia put us next to those customers.” Head of Subsea Cloud’s Middle East office, Steven Briscoe, said he was looking forward to getting to work in the region: “The region is building at a pace you don’t see anywhere else, and I’m looking forward to growing our presence and our customer relationships across the Middle East.” The Middle East office is led by Steve Briscoe and Hannah Hawthorne-Briscoe.
This expansion follows sustained demand from sovereign and enterprise customers in both regions. Subsea Cloud is headquartered in Los Angeles and has previously announced deployments in the North Sea and in Southeast Asia.
Closer to home, Reynolds said of the Deep/C Systems partnership that “Defense workloads carry a requirement most data centers don’t fully design for, which is survivability.” Greg Burns, CEO at Deep/C Systems added, “The Pacific is the largest operating theater on earth and the hardest to build resilient infrastructure in. Compute on the seabed, close to where it’s needed and hard to find, changes that math for the forces relying on it.”
