COMPOSABLE HPC
With BIOS IT’s composable infrastructure platform, compute, networking, storage, GPU (or FPGA) and Intel® Optane™ memory devices are interconnected over GigaIO’s high performance fabric (FabreX™) to deliver dynamically-configurable bare-metal servers, right-sized for your requirements and featuring the specific physical resources required by each deployed application. Pool compute, network, storage and accelerators (GPU/FPGA or future PCIe enabled technologies) and memory in expansion trays for native deployment across GigaIO’s intelligent fabric.
GigaIO FabreX is a fundamentally new network architecture that integrates computing, storage and other communication I/O into a single-system cluster fabric, using industry standard PCI Express technology. PCIe is used internally to power virtually every server on the market today. GigaIO enables true host-to-host communication across PCIe and makes true cluster scale networking possible, with direct memory access by an individual server to system memories of all other servers in the cluster fabric, for the industry’s first in-memory network. This new architecture enables a hyper-performance network with a unified, software-defined, composable infrastructure.
