Project Natick seeks to understand the benefits and difficulties in deploying subsea datacenters worldwide. Phase two extends the research we accomplished in phase one by deploying a...

Project Natick is proving the concept of underwater datacenters is feasible as well as logistically, environmentally and economically practical.

Introducing Microsoft Project Natick, a Microsoft research project to manufacture and operate an underwater datacenter. The initial experimental prototype...

Project Natick. In 2018, Microsoft tethered it to land by power lines and fiber optic cables, and Natick began in 2013, when Microsoft researcher Sean James, previously a US Navy sub-mariner...

The company pulled its "Project Natick" underwater data warehouse up out of the water earlier this year (at the beginning of the summer) and spent the last few months studying the data center, and the...

Microsoft has resurfaced its underwater Project Natick data center experiment from the bottom of the Scottish sea, with the latest two-year trial proving that underwater data centers are a feasible idea with...

Microsoft Project Natick Gen 3 is planning for 5MW power envelopes enabling future Azure availability zones with larger undersea data centers.

Because Project Natick operates like a standard land datacenter, the computers inside can be used for machine learning to provide AI to other applications, just as in any other Microsoft datacenter.

Project Natick was partly about working out whether clusters of small underwater data centres for short-term use might be a commercial proposition, but also an attempt to learn broader lessons about...

While Natick's current cooling mechanism is economical and efficient for standard servers, it might need more exotic approaches (using dielectric liquids or high-pressure helium gas)...
