AI Infrastructure

How the physical infrastructure behind AI works, from GPUs and racks to networking, storage, power and cooling, and what it means for the telecom operators who build, buy and operate it.

Start here

1.1 What is AI Infrastructure?

Begin

Why it exists

Modern AI has outgrown the computing built for traditional applications. It needs specialised processors, high-speed networks, fast storage and data centres designed around extreme power and cooling.

What it decides

That infrastructure decides how fast models train, how many users they serve, where AI can run and what it costs. This module goes from the chip and the rack to the data centre and the people who run it.

What you’ll learn

What AI infrastructure is, who uses it and why, how it evolved, how it is built, the tools engineers use and the standards behind it.
