Datafabrix designs and delivers turnkey rack-scale AI infrastructure — combining proven merchant silicon, advanced systems engineering, and intelligent infrastructure software into a single platform.
AI teams rarely miss deadlines because the models are wrong. They miss them because the infrastructure takes many months, several vendors, and multiple integration passes to power on. That is the gap we set out to close.
Datafabrix ships turnkey AI racks — pre-validated, pre-instrumented, pre-integrated — so an AI product team can order infrastructure the way they order laptops. One purchase order. One delivery date. One team accountable.
The switch. The CPU. The NAND. Merchant, mature, multi-source. We take those three and engineer the four layers above them — the backplane, the firmware, the systems integration, and the DCIM software — into a single machine that boots the first time you press the power button.
This is deliberate. History is clear on where infrastructure value accrues: the companies that own the integration layer capture more value than the companies that own individual chips. NetApp. Pure Storage. Nutanix. Vast Data. None of them own their silicon. All of them are worth billions because they own the system. That is our archetype.
Signal integrity at 16 GT/s is not a datasheet claim — it is a validated waveform. Thermal envelope is not a specification — it is a validated hour-long burn-in. Firmware is not a reference kit — it is a codebase written from scratch to talk to our DCIM. The parts of the rack you never see are the ones that decide whether the rack works.
In July 2026 Datafabrix acquired the entire engineering team and hardware assets behind a production-hardened PCIe Gen4 fabric backplane — a design built around industry-standard PCIe switch silicon from a Tier-1 semiconductor vendor. The team had already solved the hard problems: signal integrity, hot-plug electricals, thermal envelope, and firmware. That work is now the foundation of every Datafabrix rack.
From founding to the first turnkey racks.
Basheer Boddikonda establishes Datafabrix with a single thesis: AI infrastructure should be a rack, not a project. The DCIM software vision is drafted the same month.

Datafabrix acquires the entire engineering team and hardware assets behind a production-hardened PCIe Gen4 fabric backplane — merchant switch silicon inside, Datafabrix engineering around it. In parallel, Mohammed Rafi — with 28+ years of software experience — joins as Software Architect, leading the DCIM platform. Gen6 Smart Backplane technical development begins.
