Jacobs’ data center digital twin featured in NVIDIA GTC Keynote

During NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote presentation at the company’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) on Monday, March 16, 2026, the founder and CEO highlighted Jacobs. The NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint and libraries now features a Jacobs Data Center Digital Twin solution that enables developers and owners to plan, simulate and optimize gigawatt-scale artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, known as AI factories, in a virtual environment – improving time to first revenue, efficient energy performance and resilient long-term operations.

The blueprint combines a standardized reference design for a gigawatt-scale artificial intelligence (AI) data center with a hyper-realistic virtual environment, along with advanced simulations of compute, power and cooling systems, to serve as a real-time virtual twin of an AI data center. 

Huang commended its ecosystem of partners, including Jacobs, for collaborating and integrating systems to optimize AI data centers and build more resilient, efficient and productive AI infrastructure. 

Watch the keynote feature to learn how Jacobs and NVIDIA are leading the way to challenge the accepted and reinvent how AI data center owners and operators plan more efficiently, improve performance and achieve more secure and resilient long-term operations.
