Microsoft finds underwater datacenters are reliable, practical, and sustainable
- aaron695 6y ago"The team hypothesized that a sealed container on the ocean floor could provide ways to improve the overall reliability of datacenters. On land, corrosion from oxygen and humidity, temperature fluctuations and bumps and jostles from people who replace broken components are all variables that can contribute to equipment failure." None of this have anything to do with being underwater except perhaps temperature fluctuations. Temperature fluctuations should be easy to manage on land without using energy, you can just run them as hot since no-one goes inside. > Microsoft finds underwater datacenters are reliable, practical and use energy sustainably Given a stack of money why wouldn't this be possible? This says nothing.
