1. A system comprising:
a network of superconducting electrical cables configured to supply power to a plurality of server racks arranged within a space of a building, the network further comprising a plurality of switches;
a first power source connection configured to connect a first power source to the network of superconducting electrical cables from a first side of the building and configured to supply power to a first section of the network of superconducting electrical cables;
a second power source connection configured to connect a second power source to the network of superconducting electrical cables from a second side of the building different from the first side and configured to supply power to a second section of the network of superconducting electrical cables; and
a plurality of bus ducts, each bus duct configured to connect the network of superconducting electrical cables to one or more of the plurality of server racks,
wherein the plurality of switches included in the network of superconducting electrical cables are configured to control electrical connections between sections of the network of superconducting electrical cables and are configured to direct power between the first and second power sources and the sections of the network of superconducting electrical cables.
