NVIDIA Launches DSX Ready to Qualify Power and Cooling Products for AI Factories

NVIDIA introduced NVIDIA DSX Ready, a qualification program designed to help builders select power and cooling products that meet the requirements of NVIDIA DSX AI factory reference designs. The program initially focuses on battery energy storage systems and cooling distribution units, providing category-specific requirements to reduce integration risks and streamline deployment. By aligning products with these reference designs, builders can more confidently evaluate offerings and accelerate the deployment of AI infrastructure.

The NVIDIA DSX AI factory platform integrates compute, networking, power, cooling, facilities, and software to optimize AI output within power, cooling, water, and grid constraints. The DSX Ready program connects builders with qualified products from partner companies, ensuring compatibility with the platform’s unified design and operational standards. This approach addresses bottlenecks that may arise when optimizing individual components of an AI factory.

At launch, DSX Ready includes qualified battery energy storage solutions from Hitachi Energy, LG Energy Solution, and Tesla, as well as cooling distribution units from LG Electronics, LiquidStack, and Vertiv. These initial categories target power systems and liquid-cooling infrastructure, with tailored requirements for each technology to ensure alignment with NVIDIA DSX AI factory standards.

For battery energy storage providers, qualification involves running required tests and submitting data for NVIDIA review within defined boundaries. Cooling distribution unit providers use a self-qualification suite to verify compliance with functional requirements. Qualified offerings do not replace site-level engineering but provide a clearer path for builders to assess how these products fit their specific facility needs.
