Vertiv Introduces First Converged Physical Infrastructure Digital Twin for NVIDIA Omniverse DSX - PR Newswire

Vertiv has introduced its first converged physical infrastructure digital twin integrated into NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, named Vertiv™ SmartRun. This innovation marks a significant step forward ... Read original →

Vertiv’s integration of a converged physical infrastructure digital twin into NVIDIA Omniverse DSX—powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE—signals a paradigm shift from document-centric to model-based AI factory design. Technically, the extreme power and thermal demands of 3nm/EUV-era AI chips now cascade down to data center infrastructure, requiring co-simulation of electrical, thermal, and mechanical systems before any hardware is deployed. From a compliance standpoint, tightening EU and U.S. regulations on AI energy efficiency and carbon accounting make full-lifecycle digital twins essential—they can cut audit costs by over 40% and mitigate localization risks amid geopolitical fragmentation. Competitors like Schneider Electric and Siemens will urgently align EcoStruxure and Digital Enterprise with OpenUSD to avoid ecosystem lockout. Within 18 months, such digital twins will become mandatory in hyperscale procurement, forcing hardware vendors to evolve from component sellers into integrated system orchestrators—reshaping both engineering workflows and value capture.
