GPU server racks representing AI factory power management.

NVIDIA DSX Flex

Giving AI factories the flexibility to respond to grid conditions, protect priority workloads, and support faster paths to power.

Overview

Grid-Aware Power Orchestration for AI Factories

NVIDIA DSX™ Flex provides a policy-driven orchestration framework that connects grid conditions and site energy resources with AI factory operations. By linking real-time utility telemetry directly to compute workload management, DSX Flex enables operators to maintain service reliability, optimize energy costs, and accelerate site deployment.

Respond to Changing Grid Conditions

Leverage DSX Flex to interpret grid signals and dynamically adjust AI workload demand during peak pricing and demand-response events.

Features

Power Flexibility for AI Factories

DSX Flex connects AI factory power demand with grid signals, renewable generation, and energy storage to support flexible, responsive operations.

Facility and Grid Signal Integration

Use NVIDIA DSX Exchange to analyze utility events, energy prices, renewable availability, electrical conditions, and cooling constraints.

Policy-Based Workload Response

Defer flexible work, protect priority inference services, or adjust power budgets according to operator-defined policies.

Multi-Source Power Balancing

Balance utility supply, local solar and wind generation, and battery storage to maximize clean energy utilization.

Cross-Domain Event Triggering

Automatically map external grid triggers to unified system actions across compute, storage, and facility infrastructure.

Technology

Built for Grid-Responsive AI Factories

DSX Flex interprets structured facility and grid signals from DSX Exchange, applies operator-defined policies, and coordinates workload and power actions.

Telemetry and Signal Ingestion Layer

Implements structured data schemas to ingest real-time utility, pricing, and environmental telemetry via secure API endpoints

Workload and Power Allocation Engine

Interoperates directly with NVIDIA Dynamic Power Software and workload schedulers to dynamically adjust rack power envelopes and defer job execution

DSX Exchange Integration

Integrates with DSX Exchange, which serves as the central messaging layer that normalizes OT/IT communications between building management systems and NVIDIA DSX OS™

Benefits

Make AI Power More Flexible

DSX Flex helps AI factories adapt workloads to grid conditions while coordinating utility, renewable, and storage resources.

Protect Priority Revenue and SLAs

Ensure zero downtime for mission-critical inference services by shedding non-urgent batch jobs during grid stress.

Monetize Grid Participation

Qualify for utility demand-response incentives and avoid peak-demand pricing surcharges.

Prevent Power-Budget Breaches

Eliminate breaker trip risks and contractual utility penalties with automated aggregate cap enforcement.

Accelerate Time to Power

Deploy AI factory capacity faster in power-constrained regions by proving grid-responsiveness to utility providers.
