Amazon may have a solution to significantly reduce the time required to build data centres, a crucial step for AI development. Reports suggest that the tech giant’s Project Houdini initiative aims to accelerate construction by relocating much of the work from on-site locations to factory-based assembly.According to a Business Insider (BI) report, the initiative focuses on preassembling key parts of data centres, especially server rooms, into large modules that can be built in factories and later transported for installation. The move comes as Amazon Web Services (AWS) seeks to bring new computing capacity online more quickly amid rising demand driven by artificial intelligence.“Given the need for accelerated DC delivery, we have been exploring solutions to take various DC build scopes to a factory setting,” an Amazon document referring to the data centres said, the report noted.
