PCIe Gen7 Smart Switch · in development
Intelligence at the Heartof the PCIe Fabric.
Datafabrix is building an AI-native infrastructure platform: the DFX-G7 PCIe Gen7 Smart Switch, a Smart Backplane with a confidential sensor fabric, and a DCIM software stack that turns their telemetry into predictive maintenance.

Conceptual illustration
01The Datafabrix stack
Intelligence from silicon to data center.
Four layers, one telemetry model. The backplane senses, the switch sees and infers, DCIM correlates across the fleet, and operators act before anything breaks.

- Sense at the source. Per-bay temperature, power, airflow and device health from the Smart Backplane sensor fabric.
- Infer in the fabric. DFX-G7 combines backplane signals with its own port, queue and link telemetry to score risk in real time.
- Plan across the fleet. Datafabrix DCIM joins silicon signals with facility data and schedules work before failure.
02The platform
Three products. One predictive loop.
Each product is useful on its own. Together they close the loop from a sensor reading on a board to a planned maintenance window in the facility.
01 · Core silicon
DFX-G7 PCIe Gen7 Smart Switch
Gen7 switching silicon designed with AI features that read deep telemetry from the fabric and the backplane.
- Sees
- Ports, queues, errors, link state, backplane sensors
- Predicts
- Thermal risk, link and device faults, congestion
- Acts
- QoS rebalancing, alerts to DCIM, port isolation
02 · System platform
Smart Backplane
NVMe and PCIe connectivity with a confidential sensor fabric that streams board-level health to the DFX-G7.
- Senses
- Bay temperature, voltage, current, airflow, drive health
- Protects
- Isolated, authenticated, encrypted sensor path
- Enables
- Predictive maintenance per bay and per device
03 · Software stack
Datafabrix DCIM
A DCIM software stack that does the conventional job and adds AI predictive analysis on Gen7 and backplane telemetry.
- Runs
- Assets, power, cooling, space, capacity, alarms
- Adds
- Fabric and backplane telemetry ingestion
- Delivers
- Forecasts, risk ranking, planned work orders
03What the AI predicts
Three questions, answered before they become incidents.
The DFX-G7 AI engine and DCIM models are being designed around the three failure modes that cost AI data centers the most: heat, hardware faults and imbalanced load.
Thermal
Where will it run hot?
Bay and component temperatures, fan state and traffic intensity forecast hotspots hours ahead, so cooling adjusts before throttling.
- Inputs
- Bay temps, airflow, power draw, port utilization
- Output
- Hotspot forecast with time-to-threshold
Fault
What is about to fail?
Correctable-error clusters, link retrains, latency drift and drive health logs combine into a per-device failure risk score.
- Inputs
- AER errors, LTSSM events, SMART logs, latency
- Output
- Risk score, evidence and replacement window
Load
Where should traffic go?
Queue growth and per-port utilization predict congestion, so traffic classes and placements are rebalanced before jobs stall.
- Inputs
- Queue depth, credits, bandwidth, thermal headroom
- Output
- QoS reweighting and placement recommendations
Design targets for the Datafabrix platform. Capabilities are in development and not yet validated in production.
04Predictive maintenance
Maintenance on a schedule, not on an outage.
Most data centers still learn about a failing drive, link or fan when it fails. Datafabrix moves that moment earlier, from the incident to the plan.
Today
Reactive
- Alarm fires after the drive or link fails
- Jobs stall, data rebuilds, SLAs slip
- Technician dispatched without root cause
- Spares and downtime are unplanned
With Datafabrix
Predictive
- Risk rises days ahead, with the evidence
- Workloads drain before the window
- Work order names the bay, part and cause
- Downtime is scheduled and short
Sense
Backplane sensor fabric streams bay-level health.
Observe
DFX-G7 adds port, queue and link telemetry.
Predict
On-switch AI scores thermal, fault and load risk.
Plan
DCIM ranks risks and books a maintenance window.
Act
Drain, replace, verify. The model learns from the outcome.
