Software King of the World, Microsoft is experimenting with putting data centres underwater.

Microsoft Research has deployed a small data centre in a watertight container at the bottom of the ocean –and created an underwater Azure cloud.

The advantage is that the data centres can be cooled by the surrounding water. It is supposed to be good for the fish life and would not Fry Nemo.

Project Natick group at Microsoft Research said that the centre could even be powered by tidal energy.

Vole has been trying its experimental underwater data centre one kilometre off the Pacific coast of the US since August.

The project aims to show it is possible to quickly deploy “edge” data centres in the sea, close to people who live near the coast.
