Armada has been an NVIDIA DSX Air user since late 2024, and we have derived significant benefits from its ability to simulate Spectrum-X Ethernet environments for both internal development and customer proof-of-concept initiatives. NVIDIA DSX Air has enabled us to validate networking configurations and topologies, test multi-tenant configurations, and accelerate Bridge software deployments (Bridge is an on-prem Armada software product that provides multi-tenancy and cloud services on GPU hardware) without relying exclusively on physical hardware.

We are excited about the launch of NVIDIA DSX Air and the expanded AI Factory digital simulation capabilities it introduces. This next evolution unlocks multiple use cases for Armada and our customers — driving measurable improvements across development velocity, PoC efficiency, operational stability, OPEX reductions and go-to-market. The key benefits are described below.

The latest Bridge GPU CMS announces network automation, observability, fault management, and multi-tenancy for the v1.3 NVIDIA Spectrum-X Reference Architecture (RA). The Reference Architecture defines an East-West compute network fabric optimized for AI cloud deployments with HGX systems and a North-South converged network for external access, storage, and control plane traffic.

As part of this announcement, Bridge supports NVIDIA Spectrum-4 SN5000 Series Ethernet switches, NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, NVIDIA BlueField-3 SuperNICs and DPUs, NVIDIA NetQ AI observability and telemetry platform, and NVIDIA Air data center digital twin platform along with NVIDIA HGX H100/H200 nodes.
