Microsoft is showing photos of web cameras installed at 27.6 petabytes of undersea data center
In June of 2018, Microsoft submerged the data center with the server of 864 in the ocean. The image of the surroundings of the data center photographed with the web camera installed at this time is released, and you can see the large amount of fish getting interested in the data center.

In June 2018, Microsoft installed a data center with a capacity of 27.6 petabytes on the ocean floor. As one of the reasons for installing on the ocean floor, Microsoft cites "cooling the server with sea water to reduce power cost".

When installing the data center in the ocean, Microsoft installed a camera outside the pressure vessel so that the surrounding environment can be observed. You can see the images captured by this camera on the official website of Project Natick.

The picture looks like this. A large amount of fish is gathered around the data center. It is checked whether there is any unusual change in this image or whether the container has not rusted.
Microsoft has been conducting experiments on data centers in the ocean for many years and that data centers located in the ocean of Scotland's Orkney Islands at the time of writing will be used actually in the next five years . 864 servers are installed in the sea floor data center of the Orkney Islands, depending on future observations, it is possible that future data centers will be deployed on a larger scale in the future.
