Why did Microsoft put the server at the bottom of the sea? I believe that many novice rookies are ignorant of this problem. Through the summary of this article, I hope you can get something. The following information is about the server.

one。 What are the problems with the server maintenance process?

1. High calorie

Electronic components generate heat when the current passes through, especially the busiest CPU.

In our personal PC, we must add a fan to the CPU to dissipate heat. And some overclocking people will also design ingenious water-cooling systems to cool CPU.

And countless servers gathered together, the temperature, can be sour!

two。 High energy consumption

Desktop computers that stay open all night consume a lot of power, not to mention the countless combinations of servers that don't stop all the time. These things are simply an "eating machine"!

Of course, you say that big companies are not poor in electricity bills!

That's natural, but big companies are most afraid of sudden power outages! Server downtime, APP, website shutdown, facing a lot of compensation.

All the basic large server manufacturers will find a way to control the power supply of the server themselves, which is a lot of money.

3. High latency

The mobile phone loads a photo for half a day, but there is always a circle on the video screen!

Can you put up with this situation? Probably deleted this APP a long time ago?

Low latency is a disaster for network providers, and the best way to reduce latency is to bring the server as close to the user as possible.

To this end, server suppliers can only blossom everywhere to do more servers to serve you!

In the process of solving the above three problems, server manufacturers try to put their machines in various places: underground, caves, ice and snow.

What are the benefits of Microsoft's undersea plan?

two。 Benefits of undersea storage servers

In fact, Microsoft's undersea plan is mainly to solve the above three problems. The benefits of the seafloor are:

1. The sea water is cold. It can cool the server.

two。 Ocean waves can be used to generate electricity to provide clean and sustainable energy for servers.

3. Developed big cities are close to the seaside, where the largest number of network users, built on the seaside can reduce latency

Isn't it perfect!

In fact, Microsoft launched the undersea storage project Natick as early as 2014. In August 2015, a pilot experiment was carried out near the coast of California.

The server was kept for four months, and Microsoft people found that the effect was not bad! It wasn't washed away, or swallowed by an octopus or something. On the contrary, it has attracted a lot of marine life to settle on it.

So this time, they put a bigger guy on the coast of Europe, ready for a five-year reliability test!

This seemingly small container can assume 864 servers to store 27.6PB data.

That's why Microsoft put the server at the bottom of the sea. Is there anything to gain after reading it? If you want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information!
