In the development stage of artificial intelligence model training and distributed computing power scheduling, traditional planar data centers face a triple challenge: limited land resources, high energy efficiency, and insufficient scalability. Against this backdrop, a solution that treats data centers as vertically integrated facilities has emerged. It compresses computing power, energy systems, and cooling systems into a vertical tower space, meeting the demands of high density computing while also exploring the spatial attributes of mega infrastructure.
