It’s even bigger than that time its researchers sunk a submarine-like data center in the ocean. It’s running production workloads. But the rack of servers submerged in engineered fluid inside a Microsoft data center in Quincy, Washington, is still somewhat of a science project, similar in its purpose to Project Natick, the hermetically sealed computer-filled capsule the company’s R&D scientists had running on the ocean floor off the shores of Orkney Islands, in Scotland. Like Natick, running real production software on a few dozen servers inside a tub of low-boiling-point fluid in...
