Well the thing is that it seemed to have been successful beyond all expectations despite being that? They had fewer failures due to the controlled atmosphere, great cooling that took no extra power, and low latency due to being close to offshore backbones. And I presume you don't really need to pay for the land you're using cause it's not really on land. Can one buy water?
Space is pretty ridicolous, but underwater might genuinely be a good fit in certain areas.

- physicles 9mo agoIf it was successful beyond all expectations, why aren't we seeing more?
- moffkalast 9mo agoThat's the question I was leading to, yes. Maybe the upfront cost for the unit of volume is simply too much.
