Modern data centers use scale-out architecture to leverage volume economics and simplify deployment. While there are many advantages to this approach, there are also pervasive inefficiencies in compute, storage and networking, limiting its broad applicability in today’s demanding environments. The Fungible DPU™ was invented to address the largest inefficiencies in scale-out data centers: the inefficient execution of data-centric computations within server nodes and the inefficient interchange of data among server nodes, while strengthening the reliability and security. Leveraging this novel invention, Fungible enables a high-performance, massively scalable hyperdisaggregated infrastructure – one that can truly rise to the call of the data-centric era.
