Microsoft are looking at putting datacenters under the ocean, which sounds like a really good idea to cool them but I can’t help but think a couple decades from now it’s going to start causing us problems

    Yeah that’s totally more environmently friendly to chuck hardware to the mercy of salt water… What could go wrong there??

      The salt water won’t come into contact with anything except pumps, a heat exchanger and the exterior of the container.
      The servers live in a nitrogen environment, so it reduces corrosion, I doubt there would be any dirt or dust. It’s going to be an incredible sterile environment.
