The live feed of Microsoft’s underwater datacenter is strangely soothing

Microsoft has a pretty nifty way to store data: In an underwater datacenter, located off the coast of Scotland, capable of holding 27.6 petabytes of information. It’s part of Project Natick, the company’s testbed for the feasibility of underwater datacenters powered by offshore, renewable energy. 

The datacenter was sunk in June 2018, but now Microsoft has installed two underwater cameras that provide a live view at the sunken datacenter, as noticed by The Verge. 

Yes, you can now observe fish and other sea creatures swimming around a tank that contains a lot of data.
