iGenius Launches One of the World's Largest Sovereign AI Data Centers Leveraging Vertiv Infrastructure, NVIDIA Accelerated Computing and Omniverse
- Supports rollout of enterprise-grade deployment of sovereign AI compute
- Embodies a fusion of exceptional computational power, energy efficiency, and data sovereignty while balancing stringent data security requirements.
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
"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
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
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.
