Alibaba cuts AI data centre build time to 100 days with modular Cube 5.0
Alibaba said it cut the time needed to build a large artificial intelligence data centre to 100 days by applying an in-house modular design, while also reducing construction costs by 10 percent. A report carried by Chinese media said the approach, called Cube 5.0, uses factory pre-fabrication and on-site assembly of containerised modules. Alibaba Cloud said it expects production efficiency to more than double this year and is expanding global data centre investment.
