Cloud based services, which run from large server farms, are an ever growing industry. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and IBM are some of the top players with a combined annual revenue of almost $100 billion.
why underwater?
Real estate, operational costs, and security risks are all large factors todays businesses deal with.
Moving a server farm underwater addresses all of these factors and adds value to the bottom line.
With most of the earth covered by water, the opportunites for new, unexplored real estate are never ending.
This is not only isolated to the oceans, but to lakes or any body of water.
Liquid is used to cool servers and high end computers already and using the surrounding enviornment, and underwater structure can drastically cut down cooling costs.
Security is also greatly enhanced due to location and difficulties of entrance and access.
Underwater server farms make sense in many ways and are a wise investment in todays technology age.
