“50% of us live near the coast, why doesn’t our data.”

Project Natik, a research project to build the first underwater datacenter to provide the cloud to users all over the world. We are in the second phase of this research project as last week they sank a shipping container off the coast of the Orkney Islands in which they will be able to measure how viable data centers are at the bottom of the ocean. It’s a significant development in environmental technology as data centers are known for their environment effect as it was reported in a study in 2014 that data centers use over 70 billion kWh of electricity which would be 1.8% of total energy consumption. Along with having a lower temperature at the bottom of the sea, it aims to reduce a lot of overheating issues that data centers tend to have like corrosion. If all goes successful, then this will be a giant leap from the two years it takes to launch a data center to just 90 days.

So who is going to be able to maintain this server hard drive that’s stuck in the middle of the ocean?

Natik using AI will be able to monitor its servers and other equipment as a way to track how the environment and sever longevity. So if a computer fails, it will be impossible to repair, but with the use of AI, they can lower the rate of that happening.

The cylinders are made out of recycled material and will continue to recover them after their lifespan.
