Microsoft Tests Underwater Data Centre Underwater Microsoft Project natick is a research project to build an underwater datacenter. microsoft is investigating the numerous potential benefits that a standard, manufacturable, deployable undersea datacenter could provide to cloud users all over the world. While the results seemed promising, microsoft does not have any active underwater data centers in 2024. the tech giant shared few details on why it has stopped using underwater data.
Microsoft Tests Underwater Data Centre Project natick was a research and development effort by microsoft to create an experimental undersea data center. the company deployed its first prototype in august 2015. [1]. Microsoft is considering locating new data centres under the sea in an effort to make them more efficient and greener. Microsoft has confirmed to dcd that its project natick underwater data center effort is no longer active. the subsea project had been quiet for a number of years but has continued to be referenced by media and other companies as an ongoing initiative. Continuing its long tradition of data center experimentation in the name of efficiency, microsoft announced it has been testing an unusual new data center concept: placing servers underwater out in the ocean.

Continuing its long tradition of data center experimentation in the name of efficiency, microsoft announced it has been testing an unusual new data center concept: placing servers underwater out in the ocean. By 2015, microsoft’s project natick team successfully tested its first underwater datacenter for 105 days in the pacific ocean. phase ii scaled the vision, involving marine engineers and renewable energy experts to determine if this concept could be practical at a global level. In a groundbreaking move merging technology and environmental responsibility, microsoft has embarked on an ambitious project testing underwater data centers in the deep ocean. Microsoft is utilizing technology from submarines and working with cutting edge marine energy providers to develop self sufficient data centres that can be deployed under the sea — helping to bring cloud services to coastal cities. Due to the higher density of water and its ability to transport heat more effectively than air, deep sea data centres are much more efficient than those on land. in the decade since the trial began, microsoft deployed a prototype in 2015 and then a test system off the coast of scotland in 2018.
