Dallas-based professional services giant Jacobs just launched a data center digital twin solution that allows developers and owners to plan, simulate, and optimize large-scale AI data centers in a virtual environment\u2014\u201daccelerating time to market while enhancing energy performance and long-term operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvanced facilities are becoming increasingly complex and costly to build, and as AI infrastructure scales to the gigawatt level, owners need greater certainty before committing capital,\u201d Jacobs Chair and CEO Bob Pragada said in a statement. \u201cWith our deep knowledge, global workforce and decades of delivering the world\u2019s most advanced facilities, we\u2019re creating solutions that help owners plan more efficiently, improve performance and achieve more secure and resilient long-term operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uses NVIDIA Omniverse DSX blueprint<\/p>\n

Created using the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX blueprint, Jacobs\u2019 solution combines a standard reference design for a gigawatt-scale artificial intelligence data center with a hyper-realistic virtual environment and advanced simulations of compute, power, and cooling systems to operate as a real-time virtual twin.<\/p>\n

The solution enables secure integration of components inside and outside the data center, from on-premises power configurations to cutting-edge simulations of indoor airflow. By integrating compute, power, cooling, water systems, and site specifics, the solution offers valuable insights from early planning through virtual commissioning, operations, and maintenance, Jacobs said.<\/p>\n

The first module of the digital twin, now available for owners and operators, is engineered to provide value across the asset lifecycle from planning and design through commissioning and construction. Future designs of the solution aim to offer a blueprint for smaller, 250-megawatt data centers for wider industry use, the company said.<\/p>\n

The digital twin\u2019s modular reference design empowers fast, repeatable deployment of gigawatt-scale facilities in the physical world. The reference design and digital twin solution are crucial components of the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX blueprint, a detailed framework for designing and operating gigawatt-scale AI data centers.<\/p>\n

With a workforce of nearly 43,000 and $12 billion in annual revenue, Jacobs supports some of the world\u2019s largest enterprises in advanced technology industries including data centers, electronics, semiconductors, life sciences, and specialized manufacturing.<\/p>\n
