iGenius, Vertiv And Nvidia Partner On AI Supercomputer Colosseum
Vertiv has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with NVIDIA and renowned AI pioneer iGenius to deploy Colosseum, one of the world's largest NVIDIA DGX AI supercomputers with NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Superchips. Set to deploy in 2025 in Italy, Colosseum will redefine the digital landscape through a first-of-its-kind sovereign AI data center for regulated workloads. Designed to address the demands of highly regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and public administration, Colosseum will embody a fusion of transformative computational power, energy efficiency, and data sovereignty, while balancing stringent data security requirements. Colosseum, a NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, is the latest advancement in a long-standing collaboration between Vertiv and NVIDIA. It is strategically positioned in southern Italy to address regional government requirements, marking a significant milestone in Europe's AI landscape. 'Harnessing the power of NVIDIA's cutting-edge accelerated computing and Vertiv's innovative infrastructure expertise, Colosseum stands as a testament to the transformative potential of sovereign AI,' said Uljan Sharka, CEO of iGenius. 'We're demonstrating how modular systems and software-specific infrastructure enable a new era of mission-critical AI.' Modular by Design. Engineered for Efficiency. Colosseum combines Vertiv's infrastructure management expertise, NVIDIA accelerated computing, and the NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for AI factory design and operations. The deployment will leverage Vertiv's 360AI reference architecture infrastructure platform for data center power and cooling that is designed for the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 , which was co-developed with NVIDIA and released in late 2024. This modular and scalable system positions iGenius to deploy one of the fastest hyperscale AI supercomputers, and one of the largest to support sovereign AI. Vertiv has also extended its reference design library on its AI Hub with the co-developed data center power and cooling design for NVIDIA GB300 NVL72. By staying one GPU generation ahead, Vertiv enables customers to plan infrastructure before silicon lands, with deployment-ready designs that anticipate increased rack power densities and repeatable templates for AI factories at scale. 'The unit of compute is no longer the chip — it's the system, the AI Factory,' said Karsten Winther, president of Vertiv, EMEA. 'Through our collaboration with NVIDIA and visionary AI player iGenius, we are proving the efficiency and system-level maturity of delivering the data center as a unit of compute, unlocking rapid adoption of AI-native power and cooling infrastructure as a catalyst for AI at scale.' Simulate with NVIDIA Omniverse. Deliver with Speed. 'AI is reshaping the data center landscape, demanding new levels of scale, efficiency and adaptability for global AI factories,' said Charlie Boyle, vice president of DGX platforms at NVIDIA. 'With physically-based digital twins enabled by NVIDIA Omniverse technologies and Vertiv's modular design for the iGenius DGX SuperPOD data center, Colosseum sets a new standard for building supercomputers for the era of AI.' Colosseum was co-designed as a physically accurate digital twin developed with NVIDIA Omniverse technologies, enabling real-time collaboration between Vertiv, iGenius and NVIDIA, to accelerate system-level decisions and compress the design-to-deploy cycle. The Omniverse Blueprint enables real-time simulations, allowing engineers to test and refine designs instantly, rather than waiting for lengthy simulation processes, reducing simulation times from months to hours. Vertiv manufacturing and factory integration processes reduce deployment time by up to 50% compared to traditional data center builds. This collaborative 3D design process validated the entire infrastructure stack, enabling predictive modeling of thermal load, electrical flow, and site layout — for 132kW liquid-cooled racks to modular power systems — before a single module was built. Designed with Intelligence. Unified by Software. Vertiv's AI-ready prefabricated modular data center solution is designed, manufactured, delivered, installed and commissioned by Vertiv. It includes power, cooling, management, monitoring, service and maintenance offerings, with power and cooling capacity supporting up to 132kW/rack initially, with an ability to scale up as required for future designs. The building shell integrates prefabricated white space inside while deploying full modular grey space outside. This approach offers exceptional scalability and energy efficiency, transforming the way data centers are built and deployed. Colosseum will leverage NVIDIA Mission Control for data center operations and orchestration and Vertiv Unify to simplify and synchronize building management for AI factories. Vertiv Unify provides: ● Real-time orchestration across power, cooling, and compute ● Digital twin synchronization for closed-loop optimization ● AI-ready capabilities that support autonomous decision-making Through its integration of NVIDIA Omniverse technologies, Vertiv Unify enables real-time updates between physical systems and digital models — allowing predictive maintenance, what-if simulations, and scenario testing before operational risk occurs. The Blueprint for AI Factories Globally Colosseum is more than a data center. It's the template for scalable, repeatable, sovereign AI factories. By combining cloud-scale density, local data control, and modular deployment, it signals the next phase of AI: where inference must be secure, fast, compliant, and distributed. This is not a one-off project — it's a reference point. iGenius is building a blueprint with Colosseum designed to be repeated globally, with Vertiv and NVIDIA aligned on future platform support, including DGX GB300 systems and beyond. The future of sovereign AI is no longer theoretical — it's being built now. 0 0

Block Becomes First Company in North America to Deploy the Latest NVIDIA GB200 Systems for Frontier Models
DISTRIBUTED-WORK-MODEL/OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 12, 2025-- Today, Block, Inc. (NYSE: XYZ) announced it will be the first company in North America to deploy the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with DGX GB200 systems. Upon deployment at an Equinix data center, this new infrastructure will be used in the research and training of open source generative AI models with novel capabilities in underexplored areas. 'The industry, and the world, is undergoing a seismic shift with adopting AI tools. At Block, we think it's essential not only to apply AI to existing problems, but also to explore, learn, and build in the open so that we can advance the frontier of AI in a way that truly levels the playing field for our customers and community,' said Dhanji R. Prasanna, CTO of Block. 'We're excited to deploy an NVIDIA Grace Blackwell DGX SuperPOD and start exploring novel solutions for our customers. We're committed to an open source approach, sharing our learnings and results along the way.' Block's AI research has previously worked on deepfake detection, and attracted widespread attention for one of the first examples in the world of hyper-realistic generated audio. 'Block is a technology company first, and engineering is at the heart of everything we do. Our past work on generative speech models means Block is well-positioned for innovation surrounding Gen AI models, and all possible applications that come with it,' said Prasanna. The Grace Blackwell-powered NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD is purpose-built for state-of-the-art generative AI models, bringing advanced capabilities for training and inference. These systems address key AI challenges, enabling larger and more advanced models to be trained, with faster innovation and greater capabilities for AI as a result. 'As AI models grow in complexity and scale, businesses need powerful infrastructure that can match the pace of innovation,' said Charlie Boyle, Vice President, DGX platforms, NVIDIA. 'With NVIDIA DGX GB200 systems, Block engineering and research teams can develop frontier open source AI models that can tackle complex, real-world challenges with state-of-the-art AI supercomputing.' A key to select the right AI Cloud partner for Block and prove out hypotheses before scaling was the ability to access hundreds of interconnected NVIDIA GPUs, for a short amount of time and supported by ML engineers: Lambda 1-Click Clusters. These GPU clusters are now available with NVIDIA Blackwell. The new DGX SuperPOD will be deployed at one of Equinix's AI-ready data centers. These purpose-built, globally interconnected facilities provide a unique environment of data privacy and sovereignty compliance, high-performance, flexibility and low-latency edge connectivity to thousands of ecosystem partners and clouds. 'Frontier models represent the cutting edge of artificial intelligence technology, pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve, and they require the latest in AI chips – like NVIDIA's new DGX SuperPOD,' said Jon Lin, Chief Business Officer at Equinix. 'By deploying at Equinix's neutral, cloud-adjacent platform, companies like Block can unlock expanded compute scale and flexibility. This enables the customization of AI solutions with a choice of infrastructure, cloud, models and cooling at our neutral exchange.' Adopting NVIDIA's latest AI infrastructure is a fast follow from Block's launch of codename goose, an open source, interoperable AI agent framework that enables users to connect large language models (LLMs) to real-world actions. Its first use cases are related to software engineering, but developers both within Block and the broader open source community are exploring other non-engineering use cases as well.
