A turnkey DCIM management appliance — the Datafabrix DCIM Platform pre-installed on our Intel Xeon Server Card. Zero-integration deployment for enterprise datacenter teams.
Skip the software procurement, VM provisioning, and OS hardening. Deploy DCIM as a rack-ready appliance — plug in, log in, discover.
Ideal for enterprise datacenter teams and MSPs adopting DCIM for the first time — the appliance ships hardened, pre-tuned, and ready to discover thousands of devices out of the box.
The block diagram illustrates how the DCIM Appliance ingests, stores, and serves datacenter telemetry. Agents on managed devices (backplanes, servers, PDUs, environmentals) push metrics over gRPC/SNMP into the ingestion layer. A high-write time-series store keeps 12+ months hot. The rules engine runs anomaly, threshold, and predictive analytics in real time. Operators consume the result through the Datafabrix Guardian, Thermal, and Vision consoles — all running on the same appliance.
The connection diagram shows the DF-S10 wired into a customer network. Two redundant 10 GbE ports uplink to the management VLAN, where they reach every telemetry agent across the fleet. A dedicated 1 GbE port carries the operator UI onto the corporate network via a firewall. Local NVMe holds the hot time-series buffer; optional external NAS/S3 provides cold archive. A+B power feeds keep the appliance available during PDU maintenance. Use this diagram to plan VLAN segmentation and firewall policy.

DCIM software is only as useful as its deployment is fast. Enterprise DCIM projects often stall in the procurement/deployment phase — VM sizing, OS hardening, database provisioning, network access.
The Datafabrix DCIM Appliance eliminates all of that. It ships as a rack-ready 1U appliance built on our Intel Xeon Server Card, with the Datafabrix DCIM Platform pre-installed, database pre-provisioned, and network hardened.
Plug it in, log in, and start discovery. Within an hour, thousands of devices are inventoried, health-scored, and visualised.

Where it fits in the rack, how it connects, and what you get after installation.
1U DF-X-based turnkey appliance pre-loaded with the Datafabrix DCIM software stack. The solution slots into a standard 19-inch rack alongside your existing servers, storage, and network fabric — no re-architecture required.
Target deployments: Enterprise operations teams standing up their first DCIM deployment.
Slide the DF-S10 chassis into a standard 19-inch rack slot. Rail kit included. Cable to your PDU and management network.
Install the Datafabrix PCIe host adapter in your existing server. Connect via PCIe cable to the DF-S10 backplane uplink.
Insert NVMe drives, GPUs, or accelerators into hot-plug slots. Each device trains and appears as a native PCIe endpoint on the host.
Optional: connect to Datafabrix DCIM for fleet-wide visibility. Add more chassis for horizontal scale — no host reconfiguration.
Direct rack integration alongside your existing production servers. Turnkey in a single deployment window.
Scale from a single chassis pilot to full-rack production with zero architectural change.
OEM-ready configuration for organizations building their own branded infrastructure products.
Engineering pilots, reference designs, and OEM co-design programs — we work with your team from concept to production.
