Physical Security
- Ring the perimeter with anti-climb fence
- Stop vehicles with barriers and bollards
- Funnel entry through guarded man-traps
- Watch with CCTV, IR, and motion sensors
Power Infrastructure
- Pull dual feeds from separate substations
- Step voltage down through transformers
- Back up with N+1 or 2N generators
- Bridge outages with UPS battery banks
Cooling Systems
- Reject heat through outdoor cooling towers
- Chill coolant down to the facility loop
- Cool the data hall with CRAH units
- Add liquid cooling for extreme heat loads
Compute Clusters
- Drive training with GPU and TPU servers
- Link nodes via NVLink and InfiniBand
- Feed clusters from high-speed storage
- Concentrate value in the data hall
Network Fabric
- Connect clusters with spine-leaf architecture
- Route core traffic through network rooms
- Terminate optics on patch panels
- Bridge internal and external networks
Data and Storage
- Hold training fuel in parallel file systems
- Stage assets in object storage
- Move data over RDMA fabric
- Protect the storage racks as crown jewels
Facility Zones
- Perimeter: fencing, cameras, IR sensors
- Power yard: feeds and transformers
- Network rooms: switches and optical panels
- Data hall: clusters, storage, RDMA fabric
Dependencies
- Map single points across power and cooling
- Identify ingress and egress chokepoints
- Trace generator and UPS bridge paths
- Flag where one failure cascades widely
