You are here: Home / Cloud / Microsoft's Undersea Data Center: Brilliant or Crazy?
Microsoft's Undersea Data Center: Brilliant or Crazy?
By Rich Miller - February 1, 2016

Are you ready for the cloud beneath the sea? Microsoft has built and deployed a submarine data center, running servers on the ocean floor for three months in a submersible container. The research prototype, dubbed Project Natick, is part of Microsoft's ongoing quest to find affordable ways to deploy sustainable cloud data centers.
Project Natick represents a radical new approach to deploying data center capacity, which could enable Microsoft to shift its factory-built modular designs from earth to sea. In an era of exciting advances in data center design, Microsoft's experiment seeks to extend the frontiers of edge computing, bringing cloud capacity closer to population centers concentrated along coastlines around the world.
"Moving data centers to the ocean made a great amount of sense to be able to make the cable to our customers as short as possible," said Microsoft Research Engineer Jeff Kramer. "Natick could have a lot of impact, both currently and into the future."
Microsoft's experiment continues the data center industry's decade-long effort to harness the power of the sea to create sustainable data centers, tapping the waves and water to power and cool armadas of cloud servers. It ties together three data center trends we've been tracking here at Data Center Frontier – ocean-based facilities, the emergence of edge computing and unmanned data centers.
Significantly, Microsoft kept Project Natick under wraps until it had been successfully deployed, placing it in a different league from previous visions of seagoing data centers from Google and others. This shifts the project beyond the hypothetical. The question is no longer whether it can be done, but the feasibility of the design's economics, scale and use cases.
"The overall goal here is to deploy data centers at scale, anywhere in the world, from decision to power-on within 90 days," said Ben Cutler, Microsoft's Project Manager with the Natick team.
An Undersea Moonshot
Project Natick's origin story dates to 2013 and a research paper from Microsoft's Sean James proposing an underwater data center powered by renewable ocean energy. James had served in the Navy for three years.
"What helped me bridge the gap between datacenters and underwater is that I'd seen how you can put sophisticated electronics under water, and keep it shielded from salt water," said James. "It goes through a very rigorous testing and design process. So I knew there was a way to do that."
In 2014 Microsoft Research created a team to explore the feasibility of the concept, which led to the creation of a submersible data container containing a single rack, dubbed the Leona Philpot (named for a character the popular Xbox game Halo, who broke her neck diving into a pool but became homecoming queen).
The 38,000 pound, 10 foot by 7 foot container was deployed last August 15 in about 30 feet of water off the coast of California. The Microsoft team sealed the servers inside the container, and monitored them as the data center operated for 105 days on the ocean floor. It was retrieved in November and trucked back to Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washingon for further analysis.
Microsoft describes the initial voyage as "very successful," with no leaks or hardware failures, allowing the researchers to extend the project and even run live workloads from its Azure cloud.
The Project Natick web site didn't include any details on the power or cooling setup, but the New York Times noted that the Leona Philpot featured "a single data center computing rack that was bathed in pressurized nitrogen to efficiently remove heat from computing chips."
Here's a video from Microsoft that provides more information:
The Power of the Ocean
Microsoft's effort is a new take on an old idea: using the sea to power and cool a data center, transforming both the economics and sustainability of cloud computing platforms. The concept dates to 2007, when Google gained a patent for a water-based data center, stirring visions of a fleet of futuristic offshore data havens powered and cooled by the waves. The company has never built the sea-going "Google Navy" described in its patents, but other companies have pursued the idea.
The most recent is Nautilus Data Centers, which has created a floating colocation facility on a barge moored on the San Francisco Bay. Nautilus says it has successfully tested a design for a floating data center that can dramatically slash the cost of running IT operations.
The primary advantage of a maritime data center is the ability to slash costs by using water to power or cool the data center, and avoiding the expense of real estate and property taxes. These ideas build on previous seagoing IT operations – both the U.S. Navy and major cruise lines have maintained sophisticated telecom and IT infrastructure for decades – and add power and cooling technologies that can slash costs.
Harnessing Wind and Waves
Microsoft's Project Natick used the grid power for its prototype, but the company is working on next-generation designs featuring larger containers that can be powered with turbines powered by the waves or tides.

The company also sees the submarine data center project as an opportunity to rethink many of the form factors that have traditionally been used for servers and storage, which must account for the need for humans to access the equipment and replace components or refresh servers. Operating in full unmanned "lights out" mode allows new approaches that need account only for heat removal, rather than access.
Microsoft says the Natick containers are designed to operate as unmanned units submerged for up to five years at a time. An interesting wrinkle is that the company believes it may be able to go five years in production without refreshing its servers. Most hyperscale providers refresh their servers and processors every three years (as noted recently by research from Coolan).
"With the end of Moore's Law, the cadence at which servers are refreshed with new and improved hardware in the datacenter is likely to slow significantly," the Project Natick team said in its FAQ. "We see this as an opportunity to field long-lived, resilient datacenters that operate "lights out" – nobody on site – with very high reliability for the entire life of the deployment, possibly as long as 10 years."
It's easy to be skeptical about the potential for underwater data centers. There are many potential obstacles, including the long-term corrosive impact of sea water on the components.
But Microsoft now has data and a working prototype, as well as a history of converting these "moonshot" ideas into megascale data center operations. One of Sean James' previous brainstorms plays a central role in this history.
In 2008, James and Microsoft colleague Christian Belady ran a single rack of servers in a tent in the fuel yard for one of the company's data centers for seven months, with no equipment failures. The experiment proved that servers were hardier than believed, clearing the way for Microsoft to envision running containerized servers in the outdoors.[clickToTweet tweet="Microsoft: The goal is to deploy data centers at scale, anywhere in the world, within 90 days." quote="Microsoft: The goal is to deploy data centers at scale, anywhere in the world, within 90 days."]
Microsoft has since deployed tens of thousands of servers – and perhaps hundreds of thousands – in modular known as IT PACs that sit outdoors on cement pads on Microsoft data center campuses in Washington state, Iowa and southern Virginia.
Belady now heads Microsoft's data center operations, and has advanced a number of innovative projects combining portable computing and renewable energy, like data plants and landfill-powered containers.
"The reality is that we always need to be pushing limits and try things out," said Belady. "The learnings we get from this are invaluable and will in some way manifest into future designs."
Microsoft says its still "early days" in evaluating whether this concept could be adopted by Microsoft and other cloud service providers.
"This is speculative technology, in the sense that if it turns out to be a good idea, it will instantly change the economics of this business," says Norm Whitaker, who heads special projects for Microsoft Research NExT. "There are lots of moving parts, lots of planning that goes into this. This is more a tool that we can make available to data center partners. In a difficult situation, they could turn to this and use it."
"It's not a moonshot in the sense that it's just this outlandish thing," said Spencer Fowers, a researcher on the Natick team. "It's actually a viable product that we could make."

Underwater data centers for Gigabit/s networks
Submitted on August 12, 2012 Mozilla Ignite – 6month earlier than Microsoft claim
New Gb/s infrastracture will be power hungry – renewable sources of electricity lack connection to the grid.
The value of information delivered by fiber optics is higher than electrical current. Electrical energy from any size renewable source, instead of being transported through high-voltage lines can be used in-situ by data centers powering Gb/s networks. This concept applies to existing land based installation (solar parks) or maritime windmills or wave generators in coastal waters. Underwater data centers powered by maritime energy sources will be less susceptible to extreme weather conditions. Underwater placement solves the problem of cooling of the server blades.
How will your idea make people's live's better?
Gigawatts of energy will be saved thanks to elimination of losses in the electrical grid. This idea will help reduce meaningful fraction from [one cubic mile of burnt oil per year, plus few more of CMO's from burning other fossil fuels (coal and NG).] used for energy generation. " -Data centers have developed into major energy hogs. The world's data centers are estimated to consume power equivalent to about seventeen 1,000 MW power plants, equaling more than 1% of total world electricity consumption, and to emit as much carbon dioxide as all of Argentina." ( ref. J. M. Kaplan, W. Forrest, and N. Kindler. Revolutionizing data center energy efficiency. Technical report, McKinsey & Company, July 2008.)
How does your idea take advantage of next-generation networks?
Since about 44 percent of the world's population lives within 100 miles of the sea (source http://coastalchallenges.com) Gb/s networks connected to underwater data centers will benefit from the electrical energy available from maritime renewable sources.

Leicester spent most of the English Civil War at peace, a garrison town for Parliament in the Midlands. Then in May 1645 Royalist Prince Rupert arrived and laid siege to the city. After conducting a skilful siege, Rupert's men assaulted the town and burst in to butcher the garrison and loot the houses and churches. Rupert marched off, leaving his own garrison. The Royalists had barely repared the walls when a Roundhead army arrived, laid siege and then stormed the town in their turn, adding more bloodshed and destruction.

There are 32 regulated companies supplying a mix of services for water and sewage supplies in England and Wales – 19 regionals, five locals and eight licencees who deal with the bigger users. These are all regulated by Ofwat, which is a non-ministerial government department established in 1989 when these services were privatised. The regulator aims to look after the consumer by ensuring good standards of customer service and acceptable pricing. In Scotland, you will deal with Scottish Water, which is a publicly-owned business.
In some parts of England and Wales, water supply and sewage collection are managed by the same company – accounting for 10 of the 19 regionals. The logic behind this link is simple; we drink very little of the water supplied to us and, consequently, in excess of 95% must therefore be taken away in sewers. The other nine are supply-only, which means sewage collection is managed by a partner firm, potentially giving you two separate monthly bills.

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, OM, RA ( 1836 - 1912) was one of the most renowned painters of late nineteenth century Britain. Alma- Tadema's works are remarkable for the way in which flowers, textures and hard reflecting substances, like metals, pottery, and especially marble, are painted - indeed, his realistic depiction of marble led him to be called the 'marbelous painter'. Lawrence Alma- Tadema Paintings show much of the fine execution and brilliant colour of the old Dutch masters.
About Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema: The Dutch Artist, Lawrence Alma-Tadema was Born in Dronrijp, the Netherlands, and trained at the Academy of Antwerp, Belgium, he settled in England in 1870 and spent the rest of his life there. A classical-subject painter, he became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean sea and sky.Universally admired for his superb draftsmanship and depictions of Classical antiquity, during his lifetime, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema fell into disrepute after his death and only in the last thirty years has his paintings been reevaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century English art.

The stone from The place of the Thing began its journey from Athens to Kassel last May. After being celebrated, ignored and even called into question by collectives and individuals in Athens, one of the stones remained in the city. It was adopted (stolen?) by refugee collective LGBTI and its current whereabouts are unknown (see Statement 2). The second stone arrived at Kassel in June and, after being exhibited in the gardens of the Museum für Sepulkralkultur, will be auctioned on e-bay.
In the end, neither stone will be buried at the historical Thingplatz in Landau (Wolfhagen), 38 km from Kassel, which was the initial aim of the project. As a result, the project will remain unconcluded or, if you like, the project will have failed.
Failure has been from the very beginning the state of grace of this project. Even though the massive stone, a copy of the "Oath Stone" from the Athenian agora, was a pretext for the mobilisation of the various collectives that agreed to include it as one of their own performative agents, the fact that many of these collectives opted to ignore it turned it into a ghost ship. Nocument (sic): neither monument (vestige or fetish of a millennial culture) nor document (trace of an ecumenical encounter between committed artists and collectives) (see Statement 1). By the time the stone arrived at Kassel (where it was received as an "artwork") it had become a lie and a non-work. Rubble, perhaps, from a bridge connecting Greece and Germany that had been, in short, the general aim of this Documenta.
The stone was welcomed by Documenta's audience, who participated in the project with dedication and candour not shown beforehand by any other collective. (Their commitment was so zealous that anonymous graffiti appeared on it denouncing the falsity of a plastic stone!). And it was by taking part unreservedly that the audience at Documenta made the project fail.
The burial of a piece of plastic in the same grounds once used as Thingplatz was the kind of indigenous exorcism that could only be carried out by a group capable of an ironic – and therefore critical – view of its own identity. We did not find this in Documenta. Without the necessary irony, such an interment would only serve to solemnify the death of something that was never alive: yet another liturgy aimed at reaffirming a myth of collective identity. The spectators at Documenta deserve a ceremony in line with their convictions. Let us therefore bury the stone on e-bay. Let the sovereign collective of Documenta – its audience – free itself from the idols that sustain it. Let the true price "top" the false value.
The project The place of the Thing by Roger Bernat/ FFF will remain unconcluded on September 17, the last day of Documenta 14. The copy of the "Oath Stone" that was brought from Athens will be auctioned on e-bay with a starting price of 1€. Having lost all symbolic value, it will be left to the collective composed of e-bay purchasers to decide its market value (if it has one).
The stone was made by Greek set-maker Freddy Gizas using expanded polystyrene, fibreglass and paint. It can be used as an exterior bench, table or bed, or as interior or garden décor. Measurements: 250 x 70 x 50 cm. Approximate weight: 40 kg.
