workloads, AI and simulation applications, and integration with a system equivalent to
Omniverse-based digital twin and simulation environments
2. A control workstation for remote monitoring, asset management, and system integration
with the server rack.
All systems and services must be fully compatible, operational, and support integrated
management workflows.
This document specifies the minimum technical and performance requirements for the hardware,
software, and services to be provided by the vendor.
Scope
The vendor shall provide all hardware, software, and services necessary to meet the technical
specifications outlined in this document. All deliverables, including server systems, GPUs and
CPUs, storage, memory, networking, and supporting infrastructure, shall be fully assembled,
configured, tested, and operational.
All systems and services must be compatible with one another and suitable for high-performance
computing, AI and simulation workloads, rendering, and digital twin applications.
