The infrastructure library

Know the system.
Build with clarity.

Practical reading for the decisions between a site opportunity and a GPU deployment.

The platform

GPU shipping containers

Plan a physical GPU shipping container with liquid cooling. QIT containers are factory-built and installed on your site in 15 hours.

Thermal architecture

Liquid cooling

Plan a liquid cooled data center in a GPU container. Compare direct-to-chip and immersion cooling, modular cooling design and site heat rejection.

Planning guide

Container data centers

A container data center puts compute, power and cooling in a shipping container. Compare portable, mobile and AI container builds and plan your site.

From scope to site

15-hour installation

QIT GPU containers are built and tested in the factory, then installed on a prepared site in 15 hours. See the stages and what your site needs to have ready.
