While KSP doesn't have Lagrange points, it isn't hard to set a craft where one would be, assuming you don't want to have it there for long. :)

Kerbal-facing view. This is the front of the panels, which are covered in photovoltaic cells that produce electricity for the datacenter. If you look closely, you can see Jool in the background, though Kerbin is obscured behind the station.

This is the Sun-facing view. From here, we see the radiator side of the panels, which use a metamaterial to radiate heat from the cryogenic systems, used to keep the quantum datacenter near absolute zero.

From the side, we see the insulating trunk that separates the panels (now in maintenance mode) from the operations side, a retrofitted fuel tank with multiple quantum computers and petabytes of solid-state storage. Customers pay for shared time with their datasets and the computers. A network of communication satellites provide planetary uplink.
