Project Natick is Microsoft's research project to determine the feasibility of manufacturing and operating an underwater data center. The first prototype, named Leona Philpot, was deployed in the Pacific Ocean off the United States coast in August 2015 and retrieved after 105 days of successful operation. An underwater data center has several advantages over traditional land-based centers, including lower cooling costs, renewable energy sources, and proximity to end users for faster service.

3. INTRODUCTION
Project Natick is Microsoft’s research project to
determine the feasibility & manufacture & operate an
underwater data canter. The Project started by “Ben
Cutler’’ & “Jeff Kramer’’.

4. What is Project Natick ??
 A deep water data center.
 Project started in 2013.
 First prototype deployed in august 2015
& retrieve after 105 days.
 First prototype named “Leona Philpot’’.
4

5.  Name is taken from a character in
Microsoft’s halo video game.
 Operated in Pacific ocean of the United
States.
 Approximately one kilometre in deep
water.

6. What is a data center ??
A data center is a large group of networked computer
& servers used by organizations to store & retrieve
data remotely & it provide the facility used to house
computer systems and associated components, such
as telecommunications , storage systems such &
Information systems.
For a Company
Bad Data Center = Bad Infrastructure

7. These services include
 Email
 Data storage and management
 Web hosting
 Application hosting

8. Related components
 Servers
 Routers
 Storage (HDD , SSD)
 UPS (Uninterruptable power supplies)
 Power Distribution Unit
 Huge Cooling Units

9. Server
Server is a computer program or a Hardware that provide
functionality for programs or devices (Called “Clients’’)

10. Router
Router performs the “traffic
directing’’ function on internet.
Router is a networking
device that forwards data
packet between computer
networks.

11. Storage (HDD , SSD)
Storage is the place
where the data stores
& we can retrieve the
data.
HDD- Hard Disk Drive
SSD- Solid State Drive

12. UPS & PDU
A device or Combination of devices with multiple
output ports designed to distribute power

29. CONCLUSION
Underwater data center is very innovative
Technology & more efficient in the
comparison of land database it reduce the
use of cooling units & improve the service &
efficiency of cloud computing & boosted up
the web services.
Due to self generating electricity techniques
it reduce the use of electricity,
Other Company like Google is also planning
to deploy deep-water data center.
