Microsoft Underwater Data Center The underwater datacenter concept splashed onto the scene at microsoft in 2014 during thinkweek, an event that gathers employees to share out of the box ideas. the concept was considered a potential way to provide lightning quick cloud services to coastal populations and save energy. According to microsoft, underwater data centers can help serve customers located near large bodies of water. deepwater deployment offers ready access to cooling and a controlled environment and has the potential to be powered by co located renewable power sources.
Microsoft Deploys An Underwater Data Center Off The Coast Of Ireland With the experiment ending, the team needed to recover the datacenter so it could analyze all the data collected during its time underwater. that’s where microsoft’s internal engineering teams came in. Given the combined challenges of high construction costs, potential disruptions from the underwater environment, and expensive maintenance, microsoft may have opted to prioritize development of. In microsoft’s words, “by putting data centers in bodies of water near coastal cities, data would have a short distance to travel to reach coastal communities, leading to fast and smooth web surfing, video streaming, and game playing, as well as authentic experiences for ai driven technologies.”. Project natick is a research project to build an underwater datacenter. microsoft is investigating the numerous potential benefits that a standard, manufacturable, deployable undersea datacenter could provide to cloud users all over the world.
Microsoft Just Sunk A Data Center Into The Sea To Keep It Cool In microsoft’s words, “by putting data centers in bodies of water near coastal cities, data would have a short distance to travel to reach coastal communities, leading to fast and smooth web surfing, video streaming, and game playing, as well as authentic experiences for ai driven technologies.”. Project natick is a research project to build an underwater datacenter. microsoft is investigating the numerous potential benefits that a standard, manufacturable, deployable undersea datacenter could provide to cloud users all over the world. Microsoft’s experiment continues the data center industry’s decade long effort to harness the power of the sea to create sustainable data centers, tapping the waves and water to power and cool armadas of cloud servers. Goal: the primary objective is to evaluate whether underwater data centers can operate efficiently, remain environmentally friendly, and deliver consistent performance. key idea: using the ocean’s naturally cold waters as a cooling mechanism, the project minimizes the reliance on power intensive air conditioning systems. how it works. Microsoft believes that by deploying data centres under water, it will get rapid provisioning by being able to set up the whole system in 90 days. The undersea data centers were part of microsoft's project natick, which aimed to test the feasibility of placing data centers underwater.
