Partner to bring the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint into a live AI factory environment
Global energy technology leader Schneider Electric, industrial software leader AVEVA, full-stack AI cloud platform Nscale, and data center developer and operator Start Campus have announced one of the first pilots of an end-to-end digital twin developed using the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, part of NVIDIA DSX Sim.
The Immersive Twin pilot marks a significant step toward bringing Schneider Electric’s digital twin technology, powered by AVEVA software, into real-world AI infrastructure, allowing Nscale to accelerate token production and optimize token efficiency.
The deployment is focused on Nscale’s operations within the SIN01 data center on the 1.2 GW SINES Data Campus in Portugal, developed by Start Campus. As one of Europe’s largest and most sustainable AI factories, the SINES Data Campus is designed to support successive generations of AI infrastructure.
Power & cooling simulations
By combining engineering and operational data with advanced power and cooling simulations and workload requirements, the new Schneider Electric and AVEVA Immersive Twin provides a unified view of data center performance to help identify opportunities to optimize infrastructure before changes are implemented on-site.
Using the digital twin, Nscale expects to achieve faster time to token, greater token efficiency, enhanced operations, increased flexibility, and reduced risk when updating or modifying its technology stack.
“This connectivity gives us a clearer view of where full-stack optimizations can be realized before changes are made on the ground. It’s about using intelligence and simulation to build and operate AI infrastructure more efficiently, and sustainably at scale,” affirmed David Power, Chief Technology Officer, Nscale.
Real world infrastructure
Start Campus provides the real-world infrastructure, engineering expertise and operational environment to demonstrate how digital twin technology can transform the design, development and operation of AI data centers.
“Built on proven AVEVA technologies, including CONNECT, PI System, AVEVA Process Simulation, AVEVA Unified Engineering and AVEVA Asset Information Management, the digital twin supports both simulation and real-time visibility into asset performance in a single pane of glass, enabled by Viewport, the visualization application within NVIDIA Omniverse,” explained Caspar Herzberg, CEO, AVEVA.
“Our collaboration with Schneider Electric, Nscale and NVIDIA has taught us that operators and customers design, develop and operate data centers best when they work from the same model. This is an important step towards delivering resilient AI infrastructure at scale,” added Robert Dunn, Chief Executive Officer, Start Campus.
