OUR MARKET · AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The most demanding, fastest-growing compute environment in history.
And the operational model is still ten years behind the silicon. That gap is the company.
Datafabrix exists to close that gap — with an operating system for autonomous AI infrastructure, built on hardware we have already shipped, advised by people who have already done this before.
And the operational model is still ten years behind the silicon. That gap is the company.
AI's next bottleneck is not the GPU. It is everything around the GPU — the interconnect, the storage, the thermal envelope, the operational complexity. These layers were never engineered for AI-class scale, and they will not be fixed by adding more dashboards on top of legacy stacks.
We are building the platform that fixes this — by co-designing the hardware foundation, the embedded telemetry, the AI analytics, and the cloud control plane as one continuous system.
Hardware is the foundation. AI is the intelligence. Software is the platform. Cloud is the scale.

Founder & CEO · Datafabrix · Founder & CEO · SION Semiconductors
Basheer brings 22+ years of semiconductor design experience across high-speed interconnects, chip architecture, and thermal systems — including leadership stints at three of the most demanding silicon employers in the world.
"Every AI breakthrough will hit a thermal ceiling, a signal-integrity ceiling, and an operational ceiling. We started Datafabrix to engineer those ceilings away — from the substrate up."
Building infrastructure for AI is not a first-principles exercise alone — it benefits enormously from operators who have built and scaled silicon companies before. Datafabrix is fortunate to be advised by one of them.
Founding Advisor · Datafabrix
A Silicon Valley semiconductor veteran with decades of experience scaling deep-tech companies, Ashok brings to Datafabrix the operating playbook of building category-defining hardware and platform businesses in the Bay Area.
"The companies that win the AI infrastructure decade will be the ones that combine deep hardware credibility with software-scale economics. Datafabrix is one of the very few teams positioned to do both."
Working at the intersection of AI silicon and storage infrastructure, the founding team sees the gap: AI workloads scaling 1000×, ops tooling barely keeping pace, the interconnect layer treated as a commodity. The Datafabrix thesis is born.
Independent of the Datafabrix platform, our engineering team also designed and shipped a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD validation backplane that is in active use at a Tier-1 Memory customer. It is not part of the AI intelligence platform — it is a demonstration that the same team building Gen6 can ship production hardware customers actually deploy.
A low-cost NVMe SSD validation backplane shipped to a Tier-1 Memory customer. Distinct from the Datafabrix AI platform — included here only as evidence that this team can take a high-speed PCIe board from concept through production. Every lesson learned (signal integrity, substrate, thermal, mechanical) feeds the Gen6 design.
Datafabrix introduces the Operating System for Autonomous AI Infrastructure — a four-layer architecture and seven-module platform that turns deployed hardware into recurring software revenue.
Targeted rollout of Guardian, Thermal, and StorageOS modules. Expansion into hyperscaler and AI-native cloud accounts. Platform expansion into adjacent infrastructure domains.
A separate product, shipped to a Tier-1 Memory customer. Not part of the Datafabrix platform. Included here only as evidence that this engineering team can take a high-speed PCIe board from concept through production.
The Datafabrix AI infrastructure intelligence platform is built around the PCIe Gen6 Thermal-Aware Smart Backplane — not Gen4. Gen4 is shown on this page only to evidence team capability.
We refuse to treat thermal, electrical, software, or operations as separate layers. If they are not designed together, the customer pays the difference.
Our PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD validation backplane — shipping today to a Tier-1 customer — is a capability-demonstration product, not part of the platform. But the substrate, signal-integrity, thermal, and mechanical lessons from that program shape every choice in the Gen6 thermal-aware smart backplane that is the platform's hardware foundation.
We sell uptime, energy, lifetime, performance — not spec sheets. Our roadmap is shaped by what moves the customer's bottom line.
