Unveiled in 2024, CUBE 5.0 increased the overall modularity rate across five key systems to 90 per cent.
Using CUBE 5.0, Alibaba Cloud had slashed the delivery time for large-scale AI data centres to just 100 days, according to a report by state-backed newspaper China Securities Journal on Tuesday.
That compared with standard domestic delivery times of six to 12 months, and 12 to 18 months in the US, the report said.
Unveiled in 2024, CUBE 5.0 increased the overall modularity rate across five key systems – power supply, cooling, security, intelligent management and fire protection – from 30 per cent to 90 per cent in its latest iteration, according to the report.
Unlike traditional construction, where power, cooling and IT systems are installed sequentially on-site, prefabricated modular data centres split infrastructure into separate components that are manufactured simultaneously in factories. These components are then shipped in container-like units and assembled on-site like building blocks.
