Microsoft is developing Project Natick, an undersea data storage centre 1 km off the US Pacific Coast. The facility can be naturally cooled and generates power from wave action surrounding it, according to chief technical adviser Dave Crowley. “It's a very interesting project because it has been designed for both cooling and storage,” Crowley told Reuters.

The company is also working on artificial DNA project Pixabay, which requires only cold and dark storage and can hold massive amounts of data in a minuscule space.
