Microsoft is not only a company known for its commitment to the world of video games and more “everyday” technology. As we know, the North American firm is famous for initiating strategic plans in many sectors, such as the commitment to AI that took place last year, or the support for technologies such as Azure, which today is one of the most important in terms of cloud operation. However, there are also some projects thatdespite a good start, ends up making the decision to bring it to an end.
This is precisely what has happened with a plan that Microsoft started more than ten years ago, such as the creation of underwater data management centersunder the name of Natick project. Through this, the company looked for an alternative to try to install this type of centers under the sea, in order to avoid the space problems that are already beginning to appear on the earth's surface. And although he has now made the decision to close them, This is not negative news.

But then why have they decided to close the plan? Well, we don't know for sure. However, Microsoft has assured that it will take the results of the research for future projects, highlighting the durability of the underwater servers, since of the 855 units that we mentioned previously, only 6 of them suffered any damage. We will have to see what Microsoft surprises us with next, but what is clear is that the company is much more than some think.
