Predict failures
30 seconds before they happen.
Datafabrix Guardian is the predictive health module of the Datafabrix platform. It ingests high-fidelity telemetry from every device in your AI fleet, runs domain-aware machine learning continuously, and surfaces — and then autonomously remediates — failures long before they hit production traffic.
Infrastructure Health — engineered for AI-class workloads.
Predictive failure detection. Autonomous remediation. Built around the Gen6 thermal-aware smart backplane telemetry surface.
The problem we solve.
AI data centers are unforgiving environments. A single throttled GPU stalls a 1,024-node training run. A failed drive corrupts hours of checkpoint write-back. A power excursion takes down a rack of accelerators worth seven figures. And in 2026, fleets are scaling faster than the human teams that operate them.
Traditional monitoring is fundamentally reactive — it tells you what just broke. Guardian is fundamentally predictive — it tells you what is about to break, with 95% accuracy and 30 seconds of advance warning. Long enough for an autonomous playbook to drain the workload, migrate the tenant, or quarantine the device without anyone paging an on-call engineer.
Designed to operate on the high-fidelity telemetry generated by the upcoming Gen6 thermal-aware smart backplane, Guardian is the difference between firefighting and flying.
What Datafabrix Guardian does.
- Predictive failure detection
Models continuously baseline every device against fleet-wide percentiles and its own historical signature. Drift, anomaly, and impending-fault signatures are detected and scored 30 seconds before performance impact.
- Autonomous remediation playbooks
Triggered playbooks drain workloads, quarantine devices, rebalance memory pools, and re-route traffic — all without human intervention. Every action is logged, attributable, and reversible.
- Root cause attribution in seconds
When something does break, Guardian correlates signal across power, thermal, PCIe, SSD, and GPU layers to attribute root cause in seconds — not hours of bridge calls.
- Multi-tenant safety controls
RBAC, blast-radius limits, and policy-as-code ensure autonomous actions stay within configured guardrails. Your SRE team sets the constraints; Guardian operates inside them.
- Fleet-wide model improvement
Every prediction — confirmed or refuted — improves the underlying models. Customers benefit from a data network effect that no single-tenant tool can match.
Real scenarios. Real outcomes.
Three representative engagements that illustrate the kind of value Datafabrix Guardian delivers in the field.
The Problem
AI training run protectionA 1,024-GPU training run is 8 days in. A controller on rack 17 starts drifting on its PCIe error counters — invisible to standard monitoring.
Our Approach
Guardian detects the signature 30 s before the controller would have crashed. The playbook drains the rack, migrates the training tenant to a hot spare, and logs the incident with full attribution.
The Outcome
Zero hours of training lost. Engineering team learns about the swap from the daily report, not a page.
The Problem
Memory fleet endurance managementA storage tenant is pushing 3 DWPD across a 256-drive pool. Without intervention, 12 drives are projected to exit warranty within 60 days.
Our Approach
Guardian's SSD wear model flags the projection, recommends a workload-mix adjustment that extends life by 8 months, and triggers a procurement signal for spare inventory.
The Outcome
8 months of life extension. Procurement signal triggered in time to avoid emergency replacement at peak prices.
The Problem
Multi-tenant SLA defenseA cloud provider's largest enterprise tenant is approaching the SLA threshold for cluster availability. A subtle thermal pattern on one zone could trigger a violation.
Our Approach
Guardian's predictive model migrates the tenant's workload to a cooler zone before the violation would have triggered, then schedules cooling maintenance during the next maintenance window.
The Outcome
SLA preserved. Customer never sees a degradation. Cooling fix scheduled, not emergency-paged.
