#3 Microsoft And This Weird Decision
Dumping any item that works on electricity in water is the dumbest idea ever. In fact, you should keep such electronic items away from water as much as you can. But Microsoft has Different plans.
Microsoft announced that they are dumping data centers into the Pacific ocean. Even though this decision sounds stupid, the real reason behind this justifies the decision.
Keep reading ahead to know the real reason behind doing this...
#2 What Are Data Centres?
In order to understand the main reason behind this decision by Microsoft, you will have to first understand what data Centres are. They are basically buildings that shelters a variety of computer equipment responsible for processing all of the internet usage that's going on at one particular time.
The increasing use of Internet with every passing day has generated a great demand for Data Centres. But there's a huge problem with these Data Centres that forced Microsoft to take this crucial step.
Keep reading ahead to know about that problem.
#1 The Main Reason
The biggest issue with these Data Centres is that their maintenance charges are very high. They consume a lot of energy and that makes sense, however, most of the energy consumption is directed at the cooling of the data center to prevent overheating of the components.
Now this completely justifies Microsoft's decision to shift them under water. The main idea is to make use of the low temperatures at the bottom of the ocean for the cooling down of the data centers.
All this is based on a simple fact that over 4.5 billion people live within 125 miles of a shoreline and this facilitates provision of a data center for the people living close by while allowing to save space on the land that can be used for other more important purposes to help humanity.
