Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been selected by Nvidia to deploy its Data Center Digital Twin platform at a large-scale research and development facility in the United States, according to a company press release.

The agreement is structured as a three-year software-as-a-service contract. The platform, built on Nvidia Omniverse libraries, creates a real-time environment that integrates engineering models, operational technology, and live facility data into a single system.

The digital twin will support use cases including dynamic power load balancing, energy forecasting, liquid coolant leak detection, predictive maintenance, and operator training. Teams can use the platform to model changing AI workloads to assess power availability and cooling performance.

Jacobs Executive Vice President Amer Battikhi said: "As digital infrastructure rapidly scales, operators need smarter and more connected ways to optimize performance and manage energy demand, while improving resiliency."

Jacobs stated it is also working to develop the platform into what it describes as an intelligent operating system for AI facilities, where AI agents would learn from facility data to recommend actions and optimize operations.

Jacobs reported approximately $12 billion in annual revenue and a workforce of approximately 47,000 employees. The company is also delivering computing infrastructure for Hut 8 in the United States, SINES DC Campus by Start Campus in Portugal, and PsiQuantum in Australia.
