Staff can keep an eye on the modules through an underwater monitoring system.
At the core of the center are the data modules-cylindrical pressure vessels that weigh some 1,300 tons, roughly equivalent to the weight of 1,000 cars. It has a design life of 25 years.
As the data center is located offshore on the sea bed, seawater can provide natural cooling for the data modules. While consuming less energy, water and land area, the center also has the benefits of higher computing power density, better security and reduced networking lag.
