Oracle Company pointed out on the service page that abnormal high temperatures have affected the cloud services and network devices of its southern British facilities. The two cooler units of the data center failed during runtime, causing some systems to automatically turn off for self -protection. It means that it encountered the same problem in a data center in the UK. On the 19th, the services of Google Data Center in Europe were partially interrupted. To prevent high temperature from causing greater damage to data centers, Google "closed" some machines. Climate scientists warn that hot weather will become more frequent, and technology companies should explore more environmentally friendly cooling systems and computer systems to reduce power consumption and generate heat. It is reported that Microsoft conducted an experiment at the underwater data center near the Oakney Islands in the UK in 2020, which aims to use seawater to cooler naturally. (Fusion)
