GigaIO is your only cloud-class, enterprise-class, and open standards composable infrastructure solution. While other vendors may offer proprietary hardware and software solutions, or “open” solutions that require another pane of glass and proprietary software licenses, GigaIO is committed to open standards and a contributing member to Linux, to the PCIe standard, and to the CXL consortium. You can pick and choose the orchestration software that best fits your needs, and build your solution using your preferred vendor and model for servers, GPUS, FPGAs, storage, and for any other PCIe resource in your rack.
FabreX Hyper Performance Network Overview
FabreX is the only network fabric which enables complete disagreggation and composition of all your resources in the rack. In addition to composing resources to servers, only FabreX can compose your servers over PCIe, instead of introducing the cost, complexity and latency hit from having to switch to Ethernet or InfiniBand within the rack.
One of the key advantages of a GigaIO-powered composable infrastructure is your freedom of choice when it comes to how you want to disaggregate and recompose your rack resources. From the utmost in control via our robust CLI (Command Line Interface) and RedFish interfaces, to complete Slurm integration so that you simply launch your jobs the way you have always submitted them and let our software do all the composition for you, to advanced and automated resource scheduling features with Quali CloudShell, or to running containers and VMs in your OpenStack-based Cloud with vScaler, you get to choose the tool best suited for your environment.
Our host software enables server-to-server communication over FabreX for protocols such as NVMe-oF, MPI, Libfabric, and TCP/IP. It is open-source, supports all popular Linux installations and can be readily downloaded from our support portal.
Our switch software engine drives the performance and dynamic composability of GigaIO’s composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) for enterprise data centers and high-performance computing environments. Choose the right software package for each switch to custom-tune your rack. All three work seamlessly together to create any rack and cluster topology desired.
The FabreX Switch is the fundamental building block of the FabreX network for true CDI. Our newest Gen4 Switch features per port bandwidth up to 256Gb per second with 140 nanosecond port-to-port latency.
Administer your FabreX network using DMTF open-source Redfish® APIs, providing an easy-to-use interface for configuring computing clusters on-the-fly.
The FabreX Network Adapter is the high-performance, cabled interface to cluster subsystems across the FabreX hyper-performance network. The adapter card includes both host and target (for PCIe I/O) modes. With the card installed, applications can access remote PCIe devices as if they are attached to the local system.
All elements on the FabreX Network are interconnected using standardized, robust and easy-to-use Copper and Active Optical cables. These cabling solutions support connection lengths ranging from 1m to 100m.
The GigaIO Add-in-Card (AIC) Resource Box is a rack-mount, disaggregated compute accelerator enclosure with space and power for up to 10 PCIe Gen 3 or Gen 4 x16 accelerator (GPUs, FPGAs or custom ASIC) cards. The advanced management features of the resource box enable per-slot power control and out-of-band telemetry from GPU cards.
The GigaIO U.2 Resource Box is perfect to create your high performance Flash Array JBOF (Just a Bunch of Flash) based on NVMe technology, or use 3D-XPoint technology or even computational storage units. It can include 1+1 redundant canisters, up to 24 2.5” drives, and 1+1 redundant 900W 80 Plus Platinum PSUs, to provide high throughput, low latency, resource sharing and high availability.
