A production-validated reference architecture for sovereign AI at national scale.
San Jose, California | March 16th, 2026 — Aleria and [DDN](https://www.ddn.com/) today announced the adoption of the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint for the Sovereign AI Factory, unveiled at NVIDIA GTC Spring 2026. A complete, production-validated stack that unifies compute, data intelligence, and sovereign governance into one deployable framework for governments and highly regulated enterprises.
The Sovereign AI Factory brings together three distinct capabilities.
NVIDIA contributes the compute and simulation engine, anchored by Omniverse DSX, a digital twin that simulates the entire factory before a single rack is installed. Power consumption, cooling requirements, and compute envelopes are validated in simulation first, eliminating the risk and cost of physical trial and error. Operating boundaries are confirmed before construction begins and the simulation continues through live operations, enabling continuous optimization as workloads scale. The physical AI factory is built on NVIDIA Vera Rubin platforms, Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, and BlueField-4 DPUs, delivering 99%+ GPU utilization from day one.
DDN contributes the data intelligence layer through EXAScaler and Infinia, delivering 15x faster checkpointing, 4x higher ingest throughput, and hardware enforced tenant isolation via BlueField-4 and NVIDIA DOCA, ensuring the compute is continuously and reliably fed.
Aleria contributes the sovereign intelligence platform that determines how national AI is governed, certified, and consumed. The Aleria Data Fusion platform unifies data from across every sector into a single, governed foundation, ensuring that what enters the factory is clean, traceable, and nationally controlled. The Aleria OS then governs how intelligence is produced and delivered, with full policy enforcement, auditability, and data residency operationally enforced at every layer. Intelligence is traceable and certifiable, consumed across a wide range of applications spanning legal, financial, operational, and executive functions. Governments and enterprises retain complete control, with no vendor lock-in and no dependency on foreign infrastructure.
The result is infrastructure that is built once and operated continuously within validated bounds. Nations and regulated enterprises no longer have to assemble AI programs from disconnected vendor parts. The Sovereign AI Factory is a complete, production-ready stack, air gapped by design, deterministic by architecture, and sovereign by default.
The announcement marks the transition of AI from software innovation to foundational industrial capability.
