Tag: underwater data centers

Recently, more and more tech companies are moving their data centers to an unlikely place — the ocean. Companies are taking the plunge underwater in order to harness the natural cooling properties of ocean water, therefore significantly reducing energy costs and emissions. But with the new location comes new vulnerabilities. Researchers at the Warren B. […]

Underwater data centers (UDCs) hold promise as next-generation data storage due to their energy efficiency and environmental sustainability benefits. While the natural cooling properties of water save power, the isolated aquatic environment and long-range sound propagation characteristics in water create unique vulnerabilities which differ from those of on-land data centers. In this new work called […]
