Crusoe adds NVIDIA modular data-center support and introduces Spark Liquid

Crusoe is adapting its factory-built AI data centers for NVIDIA’s next infrastructure design. On October 21, 2026, it announced that Spark will support NVIDIA DSX POD and introduced Spark Liquid for high-density Vera Rubin systems. The announcement connects a new hardware design to Crusoe’s existing manufacturing and cloud operations, with next-generation liquid units slated for 2027.

An existing modular business meets a new blueprint

DSX POD is a reference design—a blueprint for modular infrastructure built around NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. Crusoe says supporting it will provide a foundation for factory-integrated deployments. The announcement links NVIDIA’s design to a provider that makes modular data centers and operates the cloud services running on them.

Crusoe’s modular operations date to 2020, when it deployed compact data centers in remote locations. In 2022, it expanded its cloud business and acquired electrical manufacturing specialist Easter-Owens Electric, bringing manufacturing in-house. It gave the modular platform the Spark name in 2025. That history makes DSX POD support an extension of an operating business, rather than Crusoe’s first move into modular infrastructure.

The company had also identified itself as an NVIDIA DSX ecosystem partner in an October 13 post. The October 21 announcement adds a specific physical-infrastructure commitment: Spark support for the DSX POD reference design, alongside a new generation of its modular product.

Modular isn't a new strategy or pivot for us. It’s been in our DNA since our founding.

Spark Liquid targets denser systems

Crusoe describes Spark Liquid as its sixth-generation modular AI factory, engineered for high-density systems such as NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72. It is the new product component of the announcement; DSX POD supplies the reference design that Crusoe says its broader Spark platform will support.

Crusoe combines hardware design, domestic factory production, field operations and cloud software. Its stated approach carries capacity from manufacturing into live AI workloads, rather than ending with delivery of a physical unit. For customers, the announcement describes three ways to use that infrastructure, spanning shared cloud access, dedicated deployments and additions to existing facilities:

• Crusoe Cloud: access Vera Rubin computing capacity through the company’s cloud platform.
• Crusoe Edge Zones: deploy dedicated units through the company’s dedicated-infrastructure offering.
• Existing sites: add standardized modular capacity to facilities customers already use.

Manufacturing points to 2027

The production plan centers on Crusoe’s 352,000-square-foot Spark Factory in Brighton, Colorado. The company says it plans to mass-produce Spark units there, supported by its in-house engineering and manufacturing operations. Next-generation liquid units are slated for 2027, making that the stated manufacturing horizon for this part of the product roadmap.

Schramm separately said Crusoe can deliver productive AI capacity in as little as three months. That is a company claim about its delivery capability, not a stated Spark Liquid release date. The distinction matters: Crusoe is announcing support and a new product design now, while placing next-generation liquid-unit production on a later timetable.
