Vertiv Unveils Digital Twin Platform to Accelerate AI Factory Deployment

Vertiv introduced the first converged physical infrastructure digital twin for NVIDIA Omniverse DSX, enabling faster AI factory planning, simulation, validation, and deployment through model-based engineering workflows.

Vertiv Advances Digitalization

Vertiv has introduced the industry’s first converged physical infrastructure digital twin integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse DSX, marking a significant step toward streamlining AI factory development. The new capability is built around Vertiv SmartRun and is designed to help organizations plan, simulate, validate, and deploy AI infrastructure more efficiently.

As AI workloads continue to expand, data centers face increasing pressure to support higher power densities and larger-scale deployments. Traditional infrastructure planning methods often rely on documents and fragmented workflows, creating delays and increasing integration risks. Vertiv’s model-based approach addresses these challenges by enabling power, cooling, controls, and deployment systems to be designed and evaluated as a unified environment before physical construction begins.

According to Vertiv Chief Product and Technology Officer Scott Armul, AI infrastructure must be treated as an interconnected system rather than a collection of separate components. The digital twin capability allows customers to model infrastructure requirements, assess performance through simulation, and improve deployment readiness while reducing costly design changes.

The launch represents the first phase of Vertiv’s broader AI factory digital twin strategy. At Computex Taipei 2026, Vertiv showcased SmartRun as both a physical infrastructure solution and a configurable digital twin, developed using Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform and connected to NVIDIA Omniverse DSX workflows for advanced simulation and optimization.
