Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT) announced its participation in NVIDIA's Vera Rubin DSX AI factory reference design and the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint. The collaboration involves providing simulation-ready power and cooling infrastructure models designed to accelerate AI factory deployment.

The partnership centers on Vertiv's converged physical infrastructure approach, which integrates power, cooling, controls, and services into system-level designs. The company contributes digital power and cooling assets, validated interfaces, and infrastructure building blocks through its OneCore integrated modular solutions.

The infrastructure design uses standardized 12.5MW building blocks that can be combined for deployments ranging from smaller AI clusters to gigawatt-scale facilities. Vertiv states this approach aims to reduce deployment complexity, accelerate operational readiness, and improve coordination across infrastructure systems.

"AI factories are forcing a fundamental change in how digital infrastructure is designed, validated, and deployed," said Scott Armul, chief product and technology officer at Vertiv. The company positions the collaboration as helping customers move faster from design to deployment through validated interfaces and digital models.

Vladimir Troy, vice president of AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA, stated that enterprises require a converged approach to physical infrastructure that unifies power, cooling, and digital twin simulation to reduce deployment risk. The collaboration produces Vertiv OneCore Rubin DSX, designed to provide infrastructure models and building blocks spanning power, cooling, controls, and services.

Vertiv expects this work to inform future infrastructure offerings across hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and AI deployment environments. The company is headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, and operates in more than 130 countries.
