The Indian Navy has decided to help Mauritius in becoming a global database hub, by offering to help with a unique green technology to prevent its huge servers to host data from overheating. The work will be done as a goodwill gesture by the Indian Navy under a cooperation agreement between the countries.
While the Indian Navy has offered help to Mauritius in the past as well as to other neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Maldives, the current green solution will be the first of its kind that the Indian Navy has offered.
The Indian Navy has offered help to Mauritius in adopting a green technology that will keep the thousands of servers that will be operational from Mauritius, to host data from business houses across the world from getting overheated. The operation of thousands of servers on the island of Mauritius without malfunction of the servers due to overheating has always been a stumbling block for Mauritius to become a global database hub.
As of now, a unique solution has been found in a technology that brings up cool water from depths of more than 1 mile under the ocean which could be used to run the air conditioner system for the data centres. The water temperature at these depths is as low as 1-2 degrees Celsius.
The Indian Navy has appointed one of its best hydro-graphic vessels called the INS Nirdeshak to Mauritius to help map out the sea bed, along which the air conditioning system will be laid. The INS Nirdeshak has left for its task to Mauritius where it will be deployed for a six-month period. During this period, the INS Nirdeshak will survey the entire seabed. By using multi-beam sonar’s, it will then mark out a route for the ‘Sea Water Air Conditioning’ (SWAC) system, following the survey.
While the Indian Navy has helped Mauritius in the past by helping them draw up hydro-graphic charts and map its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the current endeavour is one of its kind by the Indian Navy and will by far be the most extensive one.
This is also the first time that India is helping another country to set up a sea water air conditioning system. According to sources, the Sea Water Air Conditioning system will use the cool sea water that would be pumped up. The water will be extremely low on salinity, given the depths from which it would be drawn. First, the cold water will be used to run the air conditioning plants and later it may be distilled and used as drinking water since the saline content in water will be low.
