Technology
Built aroundthe PCIe fabric.
The switch every transaction passes through is the most information-rich point in a server. Add a confidential sensor fabric on the backplane and AI on the switch, and the infrastructure can predict its own maintenance.

01How it fits together
Eight technologies. One architecture.
FoundationPCIe Gen7PCIe 7.0 doubles the per-lane rate to 128 GT/s with PAM4 and flit-based encoding, for up to 512 GB/s bidirectional across x16. At these rates, channel margin and error behavior become operational concerns.Spec

02Signal path
From a sensor reading to a planned action.
Backplane sensors
Per-bay physical state over the confidential fabric.
Fabric telemetry
DFX-G7 ports, queues, errors and link state.
On-switch AI
Joined features scored for thermal, fault and load risk.
Local action
QoS, isolation or alert within policy, in real time.
DCIM AI
Fleet correlation with facility data, ranking and forecasting.
Planned maintenance
Evidence-backed work order and a scheduled window.
The fabric is the vantage point.
