Microsoft Azure delivers cloud computing capacity and enterprise AI platform services worldwide. It provides high-performance NVIDIA GPU clusters and custom Maia accelerators to power major frontier AI models. Its deep integration with OpenAI makes it a central compute hub for generative AI workloads. Its Project Natick programme submerged an 864-server capsule off Orkney from 2018 to 2020 and recorded failure rates roughly one-eighth those of land servers, but Microsoft confirmed in 2024 that it operates no subsea data centers and the programme ended without commercialisation.
