NVIDIA’s framing is that power, cooling, water, site, and grid constraints now shape what AI factory builders can deploy, and the program’s job is to connect a reference design to specific qualified products so builders can pick hardware that fits the whole factory with less integration risk. ![NVIDIA DSX Ready key visual showing four panels for software, an AI factory building, a battery energy storage cabinet, and a coolant distribution unit with supply and return lines](https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Storagereview-nvidia-end-to-end-dsx-ready-kv.jpg) ## Reference Design Alignment Across Power and Liquid Cooling The NVIDIA DSX platform unifies AI factory design and operations across compute, networking, power, cooling, facilities, and software, and NVIDIA’s argument for qualifying the physical layer is that optimizing one part of an AI factory can shift the bottleneck elsewhere. The qualification path differs by category. BESS providers run the required qualification tests and submit supporting data for NVIDIA review and approval within a defined qualification boundary. CDU providers use a self-qualification suite to determine whether a specific offering meets the applicable NVIDIA functional requirements, so the cooling side is vendor-attested rather than NVIDIA-reviewed. ## Launch Partner Ecosystem and Category Expansion DSX Ready launches with six partners across two initial categories. Battery energy storage systems from Hitachi Energy, LG Energy Solution, and Tesla are qualified on the power side, the same part of the DSX design where NVIDIA’s [800 VDC architecture](https://www.storagereview.com/news/nvidia-moves-800-vdc-power-architecture-from-concept-to-production-just-dont-turn-off-ac-power-yet) moved to production in August. On the cooling side, the qualified cooling distribution units come from LG Electronics, [LiquidStack](https://www.storagereview.com/news/liquidstack-gigamodular-cdu-hits-general-availability-scales-to-14-mw-for-vera-rubin), and Vertiv. NVIDIA says additional categories across infrastructure and software will roll out over time. ### [NVIDIA DSX Ready Program Page](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/products/dsx/dsx-ready/) **Engage with StorageReview** [Newsletter](https://www.storagereview.com/storage_newsletter) |  [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/user/StorageReview "Opens in a new window") | Podcast  [iTunes](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/storagereview-com-storage-reviews/id1060681115 "Opens in a new window")/ [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1y6VnznABhHeOSMOmbDTz0 "Opens in a new window") |  [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/storagereview/ "Opens in a new window") |  [Twitter](https://twitter.com/storagereview "Opens in a new window") |  [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@storagereview?

So I decided to get out of the pre-sales biz and return to my roots, doing a bit of writing but still being involved in technology.
