Switch designs, builds and operates industry-leading, exascale data center ecosystems that power the growth of AI, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure. EVO AI Factories are Switch’s modular AI Factory solution, which has seen “industry first” deployments of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell servers, marking a significant leap forward in high-performance AI computing and AI capabilities. To achieve this, we are leveraging the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint – a groundbreaking data center digital twin system built on NVIDIA Omniverse technology.
The Switch Vision: Integrated Excellence Across the AI Factory Lifecycle
Switch’s digital twin strategy is a vision for Integrated Excellence, creating a unified, real-time source of truth that guides informed, precise, and faster decisions. By spanning the entire lifecycle of an AI factory, we are removing the silos that typically separate specialized systems and teams.
Our goal is singular: to create a dynamic model that evolves with the scale and complexity of our facilities, ensuring everyone is aligned with a common, current reality.
A Pathway for Multi-Generation, Gigawatt-Scale Build-Outs
The Omniverse DSX Blueprint provides a dynamic, parametric modeling framework that serves as a living digital reference for every phase of AI Factory design, construction, and operation. This parametric foundation allows Switch to rapidly iterate and optimize across generations of EVO AI Factories, from site planning to rack-level deployment, all while maintaining accuracy and performance integrity at unprecedented scale.
The result is not just faster design cycles, but smarter ones: Switch’s Digital Twin enables the simulation of complex thermal, electrical, and mechanical systems, empowering engineers to fine-tune efficiency before a single beam is set.
Precision through Digital Integration
By integrating the Omniverse DSX Blueprint and the Omniverse platform with our proprietary LDC EVO (Living Data Center EVO) system, Switch brings together our IT and OT (Operational Technology) data into a single, mission-critical operational tool, providing Switch powerful insight for collaboration and analysis across every stakeholder. This allows Switch to design for the DNA of AI Factories: extreme power density capabilities (up to 2MW per rack), advanced hybrid air and liquid cooling infrastructure and the flexibility to co-evolve with NVIDIA’s accelerated roadmap from NVIDIA Blackwell infrastructure, to next-generation NVIDIA Rubin systems, and beyond.
Designers, engineers and operators can all interact within the same virtual environment, identifying design issues early through 3D model clash detection and constructability reviews. This integration transforms potential design conflicts into proactive improvements, saving time, cost, and resources.
Operational Excellence with Immersive Review
Beyond construction, Switch is extending this digital capability into the operational phase. Through immersive design reviews teams can walkthrough operational processes within the Omniverse DSX Blueprint, allowing real-time exploration and simulation of maintenance and performance scenarios. This human-in-the-loop feedback not only enhances operational readiness but also drives continuous improvement throughout the facility’s lifecycle.
Switch and NVIDIA are working together to redefine how AI infrastructure is efficiently designed, built, and operated, from the first watt to the next generation.
