Compose Your AI Infrastructure
Bring the power of composable infrastructure to your data center. Continually evolve, immediately optimize and always maximize the availability of every resource.
Cerio is the only platform that delivers the promise of composability across the entire data center. Not a single server, not a single rack – the entire data center.
Explore the Platform
AI Optimization
The overlay services layer of the Cerio platform directs traffic through a hierarchy of virtual network paths. Administrators can define and manage traffic flows in software without being constrained by the underlying physical infrastructure.
Fabric Management: Overlay services and device chassis are managed in software using a standards-based composability data model.
Transport Adaptation: Native PCIe transport is decoupled from the overlay services and the underlay fabric to deliver robust systems at scale.
Multipath Transport
Hardened in high-performance computing, the Cerio underlay fabric provides automatic discovery and connectivity for composed systems. The underlay fabric uses multipathing to balance data flows across a high radix of optimal paths that share no common links, minimizing contention and congestion.
Fabric Node: Self-discovering, self-configuring and self-healing, the Fabric Node is installed in each server and chassis for fully distributed operation and direct connection to provide highly efficient data transport.
Zero Power, Elastic Scale
The Fabric SHFL is an optical direct interconnect that implements highly scalable network topologies in composed systems. By making simple, predefined connections between Fabric Nodes in the host and chassis, the SHFL delivers the power of high-performance computing right out of the box.
Pre-wired Topologies: Using a single optical cable to connect each Fabric Node to an optical port, the SHFL implements pre-wired topologies without any manual configuration.
Passive Cabling: Entirely passive, the SHFL requires zero power or cooling.

Advanced Fabric Technologies
Adaptive Multipath Routing: Traffic is distributed across physically independent paths. When congestion or failures are detected, traffic is automatically routed to different paths. Configurable QoS ensures that high priority traffic is always serviced first.
Distributed FLIT Switching: PCIe transaction layer packets (TLPs) are segmented into variable-sized packages, called FLITs, at each source and forwarded to the destination along optimal virtual channels embedded in each Fabric Node.
Link and Path Reliability: Lossless delivery guarantees for PCIe links are provided using inter-node buffer credits, underlay link-level retransmissions, and end-to-end monitoring and retransmission services.
Calibrate your capacity
Create GPU density clusters by connecting up to 64 GPUs to a host, scale up, down or out to fit your GPU infrastructure.
Save time and footprint
Build systems on the fly and compose in seconds, while reducing power, cooling, rack space and cabling.
Achieve 24/7 uptime
Hotswap failed hardware in real time using software, without time-consuming manual upgrades or impact on service or production availability.
Accelerate application performance
Maximize per-application data flows to optimize the performance of your infrastructure for AI, machine learning and deep learning.
Eliminate vendor lock-in
Use any hardware device from any vendor or generation with full hardware heterogeneity.

AI Capacity Planning
AI is driving demand for GPUs and specialized accelerators to manage the complex processing demands for new applications and services. Modeling the available GPU capacity in your data center – and what you can actually access – is critical for planning the cost-effective scale of your AI infrastructure.
White Paper
Optimizing Open Infrastructure for AI
Distributed by Design. Calibrated for Composable Infrastructure.
The PCIe scale barrier is placing limits on traditional and composable infrastructure, adding cost and complexity. PCIe decoupling technology in the Cerio open systems platform removes the single PCIe domain limit to enable elastic scale and agility for highly optimized and cost-effective AI infrastructure.
