AI Infrastructure Simulation at Scale

NVIDIA has released DSX Air, a cloud-based simulation platform designed to streamline the design and deployment of AI factory infrastructure. The platform allows organizations to model their entire AI factory stack—including compute, networking, storage, and security components—before physical hardware deployment, reducing integration risks and accelerating time-to-production.

Key Capabilities

Simulation & Testing

• Simulate complete compute fabrics using NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet and NVLink technologies
• Support for next-generation hardware including Spectrum-6 switches and NVLink switches for NVIDIA Vera Rubin platforms
• Test provisioning automation, validate security policies, and optimize configurations without physical hardware

Operational Features

• Simulation Checkpoints: Save snapshots of simulation state to pause/resume work, with automatic checkpoints on stop and manual bookmarking to prevent deletion
• Simulation History: Detailed event log tracking timestamps, event types, actors, and descriptions with keyword filtering for troubleshooting
• Guaranteed Capacity: Subscription-based guaranteed capacity for large-scale, long-lived simulations
• Unified Account Management: Integrated with NVIDIA GPU Cloud for team collaboration, role-based access controls, and multi-user enterprise support

Integration & Ecosystem

The platform offers:

• Python SDK and REST APIs for CI/CD pipeline integration, enabling automated testing within DevOps toolchains
• Ecosystem Partnership: ISV and OEM partners can integrate their software images for joint solution validation
• Git Integration: Support for artifact repositories enabling automated deployment testing

Getting Started

DSX Air is available now with guided demos for technical training on NVIDIA offerings. Organizations can access the platform through the NVIDIA GPU Cloud portal with flexible subscription options.
