Exploring Microsoft Data Center Innovations: From Earth to Outer Space, Unveiling Transformations and Corporate Social Responsibility

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), this report meticulously examines Microsoft's CSR practices, with a particular focus on its data center innovations and their implications for the environment and society. The report identifies issues such as water scarcity and carbon emissions in data centers, proposing an innovative solution that involves launching a space data center powered by solar energy and vacuum cooling. The paper assesses the feasibility, costs, benefits, and challenges associated with this solution and discusses its impact on Microsoft's stakeholders and sustainability goals. In light of the aforementioned research, this contributes to our further exploration and study of space data centers.
