An isometric explorer of an illustrative 80 MW AI data center: how power, cooling, water and network run from the point of interconnection to the rack. Every component cites its public sources and lists the questions worth asking in due diligence.
- Five zoom levels
- Campus, building, space zones, rooms and the rack, each framed for what matters at that scale: land and interconnection, white and grey space, the electrical rooms and cooling plant, then the trays inside the rack.
- Six system layers
- Power, cooling, water, network, fire and structure, drawn as separate flow lines that can be switched on one at a time.
- Component cards
- What each part does, what sits upstream and downstream, the due-diligence questions, and the public sources behind each figure.
- Design options
- The utility outage sequence, N+1 or 2N, legacy air or AI liquid halls, 415 V AC or 800 VDC, cooling towers or dry coolers, and phasing at campus scale.
- The rack
- An exploded NVL72-class rack: compute and switch trays, power shelves, battery backup units, cold plates and manifolds, the NVLink spine and scale-out fibre. Select a tray to slide it out.
- 3-minute walkthrough
- Eight stops in the order design decisions are made, from time to power through to phasing.
