Microsoft has developed the Azure Portable Modular Data Center (MDC) to connect remote regions to Internet services and cloud computing.

The portable data center consists of

All containers are shielded to protect against radiation interference and eavesdropping, as well as a highly durable housingdurability because they are designed to withstand harsh conditions.

The mobile solution allows you to connect toInternet directly via cable, fiber optic or satellite. To do this, Microsoft has signed contracts with a number of satellite companies such as SpaceX and SES. In the event of a problem, MDC systems can automatically switch between fiber optic and satellite connections, and between different satellites to maintain stable performance.

The company says the portable data center will provide full access to Azure applications with minimal latency.

In parallel, Microsoft also announced the launchnew technology Azure Orbital Emulator – an AI-based emulator that will allow space companies to conduct massive simulations of the flight of groups of satellites in real time.

Let us remind you that in May the company also launched a new supercomputer to create perfect artificial intelligence.
