This episode taken from an article from Live Science highlights China's leading efforts in developing underwater data centers as an innovative solution to the substantial cooling challenges of land-based facilities. These submerged centers leverage the ocean's natural cooling capabilities, significantly reducing energy consumption and water demands compared to their terrestrial counterparts, which often compete with human needs for water. While Microsoft pioneered this technology with Project Natick, China's Hailanyun company is rapidly scaling up its deployment, aiming to surpass American advancements. Despite the benefits of improved efficiency and reduced server failures in sealed, oxygen-free environments, concerns regarding potential environmental impacts like localized ocean warming and security vulnerabilities from underwater sound attacks persist. However, proponents argue the environmental impact is minimal, and the concept is gaining interest from other nations exploring similar sustainable computing solutions.
