The town of Athenry was at one point set to be home to Apple's next $1 billion data center, but after three years of trying to build it, Apple has given up and will go elsewhere.
As Reuters reports, plans for an Athenry data center were first announced in February 2015. The location was chosen mainly because of easy access to green energy, but what Apple didn't expect was the delays due to appeals by locals not to allow it to be built.
It was argued that the data center would have a negative impact on local animal populations, increased the chances of local flooding, and the proximity of the site to a nuclear power plant was also used in an attempt to thwart Apple's planned construction. It worked, as Apple is now walking away.

Microsoft realizes you can use the sea as a giant heatsink and save a small fortune in cooling costs.

Data centers consume a lot of energy and produce a lot of heat from all those servers running 24/7. Energy consumption costs can be cut by using ever more efficient hardware, but also by tapping into renewable energy sources. Heat is a more difficult problem, though. Microsoft's latest idea to deal with it is by placing a data center on the sea floor near Orkney.
As the BBC reports, this experimental data center is called Project Natick and takes the form of a sealed cylinder packed full of 12 racks of servers. Because it's sealed, Microsoft sucked all the oxygen and water vapor out of the atmosphere inside, therefore reducing the chances of corrosion. A power and data link is maintained using an undersea cable hooked up to the cylinder and feeding back to Orkney.
Microsoft has been working on a subsea data center for a few years now. Orkney is actually Phase 2 of the project, with Phase 1 taking place off the coast of California back in 2016.
