Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will bring the data center to the sea

The idea is a bit odd, but very effective.

If you think the idea of using a dishwasher to clean up your YouTuber der8bauer computer hardware is crazy, then Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's next goal is probably even more surprising. Nadella spoke at the Future Decoded conference about the future of data centers, in which he wanted to put Microsoft's server . into the sea.

We have seen that putting computer components in a safe sink is possible with certain caution, but putting a system in the water is a little strange idea.

But that was said by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella at the Future Decoded conference. He said that putting data center modules (or 'pods') into the sea could be the future to expand the data center.

It may sound strange, but this is a well-established and proven idea. Ars Technica reported that Microsoft experimented with a small-scale project in 2016 when bringing pods to the ocean near California.

There are many benefits to getting the server running into the sea, not to mention the very flexible location. Meanwhile, Microsoft will not be limited by the area of the ground which is increasingly cramped. In addition, the delay in data transfer is theoretically reduced. Nadella says 'about 50%' of the Earth's population lives near the coast.

It should be added that when the server is located under the sea, there is no need to build facilities. Buildings with complex coolers, noise reduction technology . will become the past. If you need to leave a server due to maintenance problems, it is very simple.

Now it is not possible to say for sure if Nadella's idea is possible. But surely many people will find it very interesting.
