Microsoft Goes Underwater for a Data Center Solution
Taking a page from Jules Verne, analysts at Microsoft trust the fate of server farms might be under the ocean.

Microsoft has tried a model of an independent server farm that can work many feet beneath the surface of the sea, taking out one of the innovation business' most costly issues: the aerating and cooling bill.

Today's server farms, which control everything from gushing video to interpersonal interaction and email, contain a great many PC servers creating loads of warmth. At the point when there is an excessive amount of warmth, the servers crash.

Putting the rigging under cool sea water could settle the issue. It might likewise answer the exponentially developing vitality requests of the processing scene in light of the fact that Microsoft is considering blending the framework either with a turbine or a tidal vitality framework to produce power.

The exertion, code-named Project Natick, may prompt strands of monster steel tubes connected by fiber optic links put on the ocean bottom. Another probability would suspend compartments formed like jam beans underneath the surface to catch the sea ebb and flow with turbines that produce power.

"When I first found out about this I thought, 'Water ... power, why might you do that?' " said Ben Cutler, a Microsoft PC originator who is one of the architects who took a shot at the Project Natick framework. "Be that as it may, as you ponder it, it really bodes well."

Such a radical thought could keep running into hindrances, including natural concerns and unanticipated specialized issues. In any case, the Microsoft analysts trust that by mass delivering the containers, they could abbreviate the sending time of new server farms from the two years it now tackles area to only 90 days, offering an enormous cost advantage.

The submerged server compartments could likewise make Web administrations work quicker. A great part of the world's populace now lives in urban focuses near seas yet far from server farms normally inherent off the beaten path places with loads of room. The capacity to place registering power close clients brings down the deferral, or idleness, individuals experience, which is a major issue for web clients.
