NVIDIA DSX Air: Full-Stack Infrastructure Simulation

NVIDIA has launched DSX Air, a cloud-based simulation platform designed to help organizations accelerate the design and deployment of AI infrastructure. The service enables teams to build and validate complete AI factories—including compute, networking, storage, and security systems—without requiring physical hardware.

Key Capabilities

The platform introduces several features tailored for large-scale infrastructure testing:

  • Guaranteed Capacity: Subscription-based options provide unlimited resources for long-lived simulations, eliminating capacity constraints
  • Simulation Checkpoints: Save and resume simulation states at any point, with the ability to mark critical checkpoints as favorites to preserve them from automatic deletion
  • Event History Tracking: Detailed logs track all simulation lifecycle events with filtering capabilities for rapid troubleshooting
  • Ecosystem Integration: Third-party ISVs can bring software images to the platform for validating joint solutions across GPUs, networking, and orchestration tools
  • Unified Access Management: Integration with NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) enables role-based access controls and team collaboration

Infrastructure Support and Use Cases

DSX Air simulates NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet switches, NVLink technologies, and the next-generation Spectrum-6 Ethernet switches for the Vera Rubin platform. This allows organizations to:

  • Validate complete topologies before deploying hardware
  • Automate provisioning and test software-defined configurations
  • Evaluate infrastructure changes without physical dependencies
  • Reduce integration risks and compress deployment timelines

DevOps Integration

The platform exposes its functionality through a Python SDK and REST APIs, enabling CI/CD pipeline integration. Teams can instantiate simulations programmatically, continuously verify software and configuration updates, and automate deployment testing for resilient software delivery.

Organizations can get started with guided demos and technical training available on the platform.
