Microsoft having millions of users across globe has many data centers to meet the need of its users. It has Azure a cloud platform for its users. Recently there is a news that Microsoft is dropping its Cloud Data Center under the ocean.
About 50 percent of our population are near coast and so dropping the data center under the ocean will save a lot as per any experts.
This idea will minimise the problem of cooling which will be needed if installed on the land and then the main advantage is the latency time. If the users are located near the coast then the latency will be very minimised.
This project is dubbed by Microsoft as #Project Natick and it is the idea of having the racks enclosed in the steel capsule and then dropping them under the ocean.
Building the data center is decreased from 2 years to 90 days if this has been implemented under the ocean. It is also environment friendly.
The main problem with the implementation is the maintenance that will be difficult if implemented under the ocean. But they also stated that it will not has a maintenance for the period of 5 years.
It is not only initiated by Microsoft even Facebook also putting their server far away to utilise the natural colling system.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
