I wonder how cost effective this will be in the long run considering how much they'll have to deal with corrosion. I imagine the maintenance will become pretty overwhelming in a year or two.

Microsoft has been experimenting with underwater DCs for close to ten years now…

I don’t think corrosion is much of an issue as it’s water tight.

Lol, after a prototype proves the viability, they built a larger scale version, more capable, more power, and they use it to run folding@home...
