Microsoft released results from an “underwater data center” test yesterday, finding that the concept is “logistically, environmentally and economically practical.” The company submerged a small data center (roughly the size of a shipping container) off the coast of Scotland in 2018 as part of the experiment, and hopes to leverage the results of the test in its future data center sustainability strategy.
