Chapter 3

Inside the AI data centre

One data centre, two ways in. The map shows where each part physically sits; the architecture shows the same parts as layers, from the platform down to the plant that constrains everything above it. Pick a group to follow it through both, select any zone or element for the detail, and step inside a compute rack from the compute hall.

The building from above: where each part physically sits.

Bird's-eye view of an AI data centre: cooling plant and power yard along the top, the network room and AI compute hall in the centre, storage and the operations room on the right, support offices, mechanical plant and loading bays along the bottom.
