Designing AI Data Centers

The book presents AI factories as the industrial backbone of the intelligence age, built on the foundational pillars of compute, network, power, sustainability, security, and governance. It moves from the foundations of AI factories, exascale computing, compute sovereignty, and efficient compute systems into multi-layered architectures, secure training systems, AI networking, power systems, autonomous grid systems, advanced cooling technologies, circular data centres, net-zero operations, modular construction, and water-neutral operations. Each chapter builds toward understanding how AI infrastructure is designed, operated, and governed as a living system.
