Microsoft has pulled its second underwater data center out of the water in Scotland

The tech company placed a data center 117 feet underwater in spring 2018, calling it Project Natick. Microsoft hoped that dumping computers in the ocean might be the way of the future. The vessel was designed with cooling systems and powered by renewable energy.This is Microsoft's second data center vessel. For phase one of the underwater data center experimentation, Microsoft deployed a vessel in California, which was operated on the seafloor of the Pacific coast.

The deployment and retrieval of the data center each took a day, according to a Microsoft press release.Read MoreOnce retrieved, the vessel was power washed and used for data collection. So why underwater? The team at Microsoft hypothesizes that the nitrogen, which is less corrosive than oxygen, and the absence of people to bump and jostle components, make the data center more reliable than data centers on land, according to the press release.

Greta has new fodder....

apbenven, so if it's so successful, why is it that they pull it out of the sea now ?

Let’s cool off our computer in the ocean and blame fossil fuels for stuff. The annoying truth.

I'm sure that's great for animals that require and use sonar echo locations.
