Vertiv converged infrastructure is now part of the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI factory reference design, the company said on March 18, 2026. Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, stated that its simulation-ready power and cooling assets are integrated into both the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX reference design and the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint.
What Is Vertiv Converged Infrastructure for AI Factories?
Vertiv describes converged physical infrastructure as a system-level model that integrates power, cooling, controls, and services into interdependent designs. The approach spans the full power train and thermal chain, aiming to reduce design complexity and improve deployment consistency. It is built on five elements: repeatable building blocks, defined interfaces, system orchestration, digital continuity, and lifecycle support.
Scalable Building Blocks at 12.5MW
At the core of the design is the Vertiv™ OneCore integrated modular solution, structured around standardized 12.5MW infrastructure blocks. These blocks can be combined and configured to support deployments ranging from smaller AI clusters to gigawatt-scale AI factories. The architecture is intended to simplify scaling while improving deployment consistency and operational performance.
Simulation-Ready Digital Models Reduce Deployment Risk
Vertiv’s collaboration with NVIDIA supports digitally validated AI factory infrastructure using real-time simulation and system-level modeling before physical deployment begins. This approach is designed to reduce field integration risk and accelerate time to operational readiness. It also aims to optimize performance from grid connection through chip-level thermal management and heat-reuse pathways.
“AI factories are forcing a fundamental change in how digital infrastructure is designed, validated, and deployed. Vertiv’s role is to help turn complex AI infrastructure from a collection of separate products into converged, simulation-ready physical systems. Working with NVIDIA, we are helping customers move faster from design to deployment.”
Scott Armul, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Vertiv
Moreover, Armul said that combining Vertiv’s power and cooling portfolio with validated interfaces and digital models can help customers accelerate development, improve operational confidence, and unlock better output per watt.
NVIDIA Confirms Integration of Simulation-Ready Models
Vladimir Troy, vice president of AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA, said that as AI factories scale to higher levels of power and density, enterprises require a converged approach that unifies power, cooling, and digital twin simulation to reduce deployment risk. He stated that Vertiv is providing the repeatable building blocks and validated interfaces necessary to accelerate the path from design to operational readiness.

OneCore Rubin DSX: A Multi-Generation Design Outcome
The collaborative output, Vertiv™ OneCore Rubin DSX, is a design outcome that Vertiv said it will continue to iterate across multiple compute generations. It is intended to support AI factory builders with parameterized infrastructure models and deployment-ready building blocks spanning power, cooling, controls, and lifecycle services. Vertiv expects this work to inform future converged infrastructure offerings across hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and emerging AI deployment environments.
Vertiv operates in more than 130 countries and its shares trade on the NYSE under the ticker VRT. The company’s portfolio covers critical power, thermal management, integrated controls, and lifecycle services for data centers and communication networks globally.
