NVIDIA today announced it is collaborating with growing ecosystem of Australian NVIDIA Cloud Partners NCPs and AI infrastructure partners to expand land, power and shell capacity designed to host multiple generations of NVIDIA DSX AI factories, supporting nation growing demand for AI compute with up to 2-gigawatt buildout by 2027. Participating providers will operate AI factories, with NVIDIA delivering DSX platform, accelerated computing, networking, software and ecosystem support. Announcement was made from Melbourne, Australia, on September 9, 2026.
NVIDIA DSX is full-stack AI factory platform spanning facilities infrastructure, computing, networking, software and reference designs. Compatible with NVIDIA CUDA ecosystem and enhanced through software over life of infrastructure, DSX helps operators serve broad range of workloads and customers, improve performance and utilization, and extend useful life of assets strengthening productivity, fungibility, durability, rentability and long-term economics.
"AI factories turn energy into intelligence — essential resource of AI economy," said Raj Mirpuri, vice president of global AI clouds and infrastructure ecosystem at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA DSX is full-stack platform compatible with CUDA ecosystem and enhanced through software over life of infrastructure, making AI factories more productive, fungible and durable and new investable asset class."
Growing AI adoption across industries increasing demand for high-performance computing. Expanding capacity in Australia will enable local innovators to develop models, applications and agents while supporting additional power generation projects to support regional and global demand.
Across Australia, NCPs and AI infrastructure partners Firmus, Sharon AI, IREN, Megaport, ResetData, CDC, NEXTDC and AirTrunk already investing in NVIDIA DSX AI factories.
Firmus expanding Project Southgate initiative developing NVIDIA-powered AI factories designed to support hyperscale and AI-native demand. Sharon AI deploying up to 68,000 NVIDIA GPUs connected with NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand and Spectrum-X Ethernet. IREN partnering combining DSX architecture with vertically integrated platform across 800-megawatt Bundey campus in South Australia. Megaport expanding access through wholly owned subsidiary Latitude.sh for inference needs with global software-defined network. ResetData building sovereign purpose-built infrastructure for enterprises, government and research requiring Australian data residency. CDC operates more than 550 megawatts capacity across Australia and New Zealand with further 800 megawatts under construction using 100% renewable electricity and zero water advanced cooling certified for NVIDIA. NEXTDC operating liquid-cooled high-density infrastructure interconnected with leading cloud platforms. AirTrunk expanding AI-ready powered shells including direct-to-chip liquid-cooling.
Greater access to accelerated computing enabling developers, AI-native companies and enterprises to build models, applications and agents tailored to local industries. Organizations including Heidi and Atlassian using NVIDIA Nemotron open models, datasets and tools to build and customize AI.
Heidi combines Nemotron models with specialized clinical knowledge to redefine voice-driven AI. "NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra gives us flexibility to build and post-train models for real complexity of healthcare," said Yu Liu, cofounder and chief technology officer of Heidi.
Atlassian advancing Rovo semantic search with NVIDIA AI to make enterprise search more intelligent. "NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure and open model ecosystem foundational to how Atlassian builds and delivers AI," said Guihong Cao, head of engineering for Rovo + AI at Atlassian.
