NVIDIA Unveils DSX Datacenter Architecture to Power Gigawatt-Scale AI Factories.

NVIDIA Introduces DSX Datacenter Platform: Full-Stack AI Factory Reference Architecture Built for Vera Rubin Era

Semiconductor giant NVIDIA has unveiled its newest datacenter architectural framework, dubbed DSX, expanding beyond its established DGX (fully integrated NVIDIA systems) and HGX (modular third-party CPU/GPU systems) platforms. Unlike single-node server designs, DSX functions as a comprehensive, full-stack AI factory reference architecture engineered to optimize datacenter-scale energy distribution, thermal management, and computing performance from the ground up.

Software Management Suite, Zero-Water Liquid Cooling, and Ecosystem Partners

• Comprehensive Datacenter Management Software Suite:

  • DSX MaxLPS: Dynamically manages power allocation across server nodes to maximize performance efficiency per watt.

  • DSX Flex: Orchestrates workload power demands based on real-time electrical grid conditions, transitioning power consumption during peak load hours.

  • DSX Sim: Enables full digital-twin simulation testing for datacenter infrastructure prior to physical deployment.

  • DSX OS: Controls low-level infrastructure, configuring racks, networks, and large-scale clusters dynamically.

  • DSX Exchange: Acts as the communication bridge connecting compute servers with facility-level datacenter management systems.

• Sustainability and Efficiency Metrics:

  • Near-Zero Water Consumption: The DSX Reference Design incorporates closed-loop liquid cooling paired with secondary liquid-to-air heat exchangers. This system reduces water usage to near-zero, saving up to 54 million liters of water daily for a gigawatt-scale datacenter facility.

  • 30% Power Reduction via MaxLPS: The DSX MaxLPS software layer cuts total operational energy consumption by up to 30%.

  • Grid Power Offloading via DSX Flex: By shifting grid draw to renewable sources and battery energy storage systems during peak periods, trials in the UK demonstrated up to a 40% reduction in peak grid power reliance.

• Industry Alliances and Cloud Provider Support:

  • Industrial and Energy Partners: NVIDIA is collaborating with leading energy and industrial automation firms including ABB, AVEVA, Dassault Systèmes, Eaton, GE Vernova, Hitachi Energy, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Siemens Energy, Trane Technologies, and Vertiv to integrate and validate their facility solutions within the DSX ecosystem.

  • Cloud and Infrastructure Partners: Early adopters committed to deploying DSX architectures include CoreWeave, Firmus, Google Cloud, IREN, Lambda, Nebius, Nscale, and Sharon AI, with full-scale rollouts planned alongside the upcoming NVIDIA Vera Rubin chip architecture.
