Every AI factory needs power and cooling that fit its computing architecture. As AI infrastructure expands, power, cooling, water, site and grid constraints are shaping what builders can deploy. Choosing products that fit the complete factory design helps builders turn computing capacity into useful AI output.
To help builders make those decisions, NVIDIA is introducing NVIDIA DSX Ready, a qualification program for partner products and solutions that meet applicable NVIDIA DSX AI factory reference design requirements.
The program launches with two initial categories: battery energy storage systems (BESS) and cooling distribution units (CDUs). Category-specific requirements and review through the program help builders evaluate offerings with greater confidence, reduce integration risk and move toward deployment.
Qualified Building Blocks for Building AI Factory The NVIDIA DSX AI factory platform unifies AI factory design and operations across compute, networking, power, cooling, facilities and software. It helps partners design and operate the factory as one system to produce more useful AI output within available power, cooling, water and grid constraints.
That system view matters now because optimizing one part of an AI factory can shift the bottleneck elsewhere. Power and cooling suppliers need a clear path from reference designs to qualified offerings, and builders need a clearer way to discover and evaluate those offerings.
DSX Ready connects that selection process to applicable NVIDIA DSX requirements. It gives builders a clear qualification to look for and gives partners a defined way to demonstrate that a specific offering meets the requirements for its category.
Power and Cooling Qualification At launch, DSX Ready includes qualified BESS solutions Hitachi Energy, LG Energy Solution and Tesla, and qualified CDU solutions from LG Electronics, LiquidStack and Vertiv. These initial categories bring power systems and liquid-cooling infrastructure into a common program, with requirements tailored to each technology. Additional categories across infrastructure and software will be rolled out over time.
For BESS providers, partners run the required qualification tests and submit supporting data for NVIDIA review and approval within a defined qualification boundary. Passing qualification does not replace site-level engineering or imply site-level stability.
For CDU providers, the path uses the CDU self-qualification suite to determine whether a specific offering meets applicable NVIDIA functional requirements.
Teams can then focus on how qualified offerings fit their site, configuration and operating needs. A qualified CDU may meet the relevant cooling criteria, for example, while the builder still evaluates how it will fit the planned facility.
From Platform Design to Partner Selection The value of a reference design grows when builders can connect it to specific products and informed engineering decisions. DSX Ready makes that connection, bringing partner innovation into the infrastructure choices behind NVIDIA DSX AI factories.
Explore NVIDIA DSX Ready qualification categories and learn how to participate. Connect with the right NVIDIA team to begin qualification for a product or solution.
