Crusoe, the AI factory company, has outlined how its Crusoe Spark modular AI data center platform will support NVIDIA's DSX POD reference design, extending a modular approach the company has pursued since 2020.

Demand for AI-powered innovation has surged, and modular infrastructure offers a faster, more flexible way to deploy productive compute capacity and complement large-scale facility builds. Crusoe was an early pioneer in deploying compact data centers to remote locations. In 2022 it expanded its footprint for Crusoe Cloud and acquired electrical manufacturing specialist Easter-Owens Electric to bring manufacturing in-house. Crusoe formalized the platform as Crusoe Spark in 2025.

Crusoe introduced Crusoe Spark Liquid, a sixth-generation modular AI factory built for ultra-high-density systems such as NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72. The DSX POD reference design serves as a blueprint for modular infrastructure for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Platform, providing a foundation for both high-performance AI and safer deployment of AI agents. Crusoe states it can deliver productive AI capacity in as little as three months.

Within the DSX POD ecosystem, Crusoe links physical data center manufacturing with cloud operations. Customers can access Vera Rubin capacity through Crusoe Cloud, deploy dedicated units through Crusoe Edge Zones, or add standardized modular capacity to existing sites. The NVIDIA OpenShell Reference Architecture adds an open-source runtime for enforcing policies on AI agent access to data, tools, and networks.

“Modular isn't a new strategy or pivot for us. It’s been in our DNA since our founding,” said Bryan Schramm, Head of Spark for Crusoe. “We’ve spent six years building, operating, and refining modular data centers in some of the most demanding environments on Earth.”

“Modular AI factories are essential to meeting the global demand for accelerated computing, and partners like Crusoe are leading the way,” said Charlie Boyle, vice president of DGX Systems at NVIDIA. Next-generation liquid units are scheduled for 2027.
