#ProjectNatickDataCenter

            Project Natick is a new idea about where Microsoft can put their data centers (The Cloud) at the ocean floor. The project says that the goal of these data centers is to be fully dependable and require zero IT personnel to work on it at all, that means it is a self sustaining machine and it would never require hands on maintenance. The project estimates that the data center could last up to ten years on the ocean floor! Being on the ocean floor would also give the data center a natural free cooling system. These ocean floor data centers would take a substantially lesser amount of power the video says 27 kw and the potentials for that freeing up that much power on land is incredible. The project website also says that the data centers would be zero emissions so not only cutting down on power use you can also knock out pollution at the same time.

            There are some downsides that to these data centers The first downside is that once you deploy the data center if something goes wrong there really is no way to fix it, they compare it to a space shuttle so when they launch if something goes wrong there really is no way to fix them either. Another downside is if these data center could replace the current ones then that would replace the need for IT maintenance guys, Microsoft says they offer some of them other jobs but that others aren’t so lucky. Another unfortunate downside is that these data centers take nearly two years to construct, Microsoft says that eventually they will be able to cut the manufacturing time down to somewhere around 90 days. So all in all this project is a very innovative way to fix a few problems in today's society.
