NVIDIA launched the DSX Ready certification program — a qualification program that identifies partner products meeting the requirements of the DSX AI factory reference design. The first 2 categories are battery energy storage systems (BESS) and coolant distribution units (CDU): Hitachi Energy, LG Energy Solution and Tesla were certified for BESS, and LG Electronics, LiquidStack and Vertiv for CDU. The aim is to turn compute capacity into real output within power, cooling, water and grid constraints, and infrastructure and software categories are to be added

Why it matters

An accelerator supplier has begun drawing up certification lists that reach down to a data center's electrical and thermal components. It signals that the bottleneck has moved down from chips to power and cooling, and is a case of the observation topic "AI power and data center physical constraints" taking concrete form at the level of product specifications. Quantitative specifications (kW per rack, voltage) were not disclosed
