Bring turnkey AI infrastructure to remote sites — telco MEC, industrial plants, retail branches, defence forward-operating locations. Ruggedised, sensored, and observable from the central console.
A single Datafabrix DF-R3 rack, delivered as one purchase order, installed as one unit, supported as one system.
The specific metrics our customers ask about first — and where this rack is engineered to win.
Merchant silicon is called out explicitly. Datafabrix engineering is called out explicitly. No hand-wave categories.
| Layer | Component | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Compute | 2 × Edge Datacenter Node (DF-S11) · Xeon + accelerator | Ruggedised compute with on-board environmental sensing |
| Fabric | 1 × Datafabrix PCIe Gen4 Fabric Backplane (DF-B4) · edge variant | Same fabric silicon, edge-hardened board revision |
| DCIM | DCIM Appliance (DF-S10) · embedded | Local DCIM aggregator that streams upstream to central console |
| Storage | NVMe pool · 8–16 drives | Local model cache + operational buffer |
| Environmental | Temperature · humidity · vibration · door · power sensors | Hard-wired to the rack, streaming to DCIM in real time |
| Networking | WAN uplink + dual-SIM cellular fallback · site LAN | Resilient connectivity across cable + cellular + optional satellite |
| Power | Wide-input PSU · optional UPS module | Tolerates unstable edge power; rides through short outages |
| Cooling | Filtered air-cool · dust-sealed · extended temp range | Rated for industrial environments outside standard datacenter envelope |
Edge sites have unstable power, dusty air, no on-site IT staff, and unreliable WAN. A "datacenter rack scaled down" fails on all four axes. This rack was designed for the actual conditions.
The most expensive part of an edge failure is the truck roll. On-board environmental sensing streaming to central DCIM lets you diagnose most problems remotely — and pre-empt the ones you cannot.
One uplink is a liability. Dual-SIM cellular fallback plus optional satellite means your central console keeps seeing the site even when the primary link is dead.
The DCIM console at your central site treats edge racks as first-class citizens — same modules, same UI, same policies. You do not run two operational stacks.
Multi-access edge compute for 5G core and application workloads at the cell site.
Real-time defect detection on manufacturing lines — models run local, results stream up.
Per-store computer vision for shelf, footfall, and loss prevention — no video leaves the site.
Hardened compute at forward-operating locations with disconnected/intermittent WAN.
Our delivery discipline is the single biggest reason customers pick us over DIY assembly or a locked AI system. Here is what the timeline actually looks like.
One call to align on workload, site, and timeline. Written quote with BOM, power/cooling profile, and delivery date inside one business week.
Rack assembled and validated at our integration facility. Firmware loaded. DCIM modules provisioned. Burn-in tested against the specific workload class.
Rack ships fully assembled. On-site installation by our team or a certified partner. Cabled, powered, network-integrated, DCIM streaming to your operators.
Workload deployed on the rack. Acceptance tests. Handover to your operations team, with our engineering on standby for the first 90 days.
