Smart Fabric Switches deliver maximum system utilization and uptime
for scale-out PCIe 6 connectivity and scale-up GPU clustering in AI
servers
Astera Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALAB), a global leader in
semiconductor-based connectivity solutions for AI and cloud
infrastructure, today announced a new portfolio of fabric switches,
including the industry’s first PCIe® 6 switch, built from the
ground up for demanding AI workloads in accelerated computing
platforms deployed at cloud-scale. The Scorpio Smart Fabric Switch
portfolio is optimized for AI dataflows to deliver maximum
predictable performance per watt, high reliability, easy
cloud-scale deployment, reduced time-to-market, and lower total
cost of ownership.
The Scorpio Smart Fabric Switch portfolio features two
application-specific product lines with a multi-generational
roadmap:
- Scorpio P-Series for GPU-to-CPU/NIC/SSD PCIe 6
connectivity – architected to support mixed traffic head-node
connectivity across a diverse ecosystem of PCIe hosts and
endpoints.
- Scorpio X-Series for back-end GPU clustering –
architected to deliver the highest back-end GPU-to-GPU bandwidth
with platform-specific customization.
Jitendra Mohan, Chief Executive Officer, Astera Labs,
said, “Hyperscalers are deploying highly specialized AI
platforms at an unprecedented pace, scale, and complexity. Our new
Scorpio Smart Fabric Switch portfolio delivers maximum system
utilization and uptime for two specific AI use cases – scale-out
PCIe connectivity with Scorpio P-Series and back-end, scale-up GPU
clustering with Scorpio X-Series. Scorpio offers energy efficient
fabric solutions with predictable, secure, and high-performance
data flows and extensive fleet management capabilities for
accelerated AI infrastructure deployments at cloud-scale.”
Patrick Moorhead, Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief
Analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy, said, “Hyperscalers and
AI platform providers developing systems for training and
inferencing workloads have traditionally used PCIe switches that
were initially designed for general purpose and storage
applications. These switches can be complex, consume high power,
and require longer system development cycles that make them
challenging for AI platforms. With its introduction of the Scorpio
Smart Fabric Switch portfolio, Astera Labs is focused on the
industry’s need for a more performant, efficient fabric solution
that’s purpose-built to meet the specific requirements of AI
training and inference workloads in the cloud.”
Scorpio Smart Fabric Switches expand Astera Labs’ Intelligent
Connectivity Platform and integrates with the COnnectivity System
Management and Optimization Software (COSMOS) suite to deliver a
smart, customizable connectivity backbone with unprecedented data
center observability, enhanced security, and extensive fleet
management capabilities. Scorpio enables unmatched insights into
the state and health of accelerated computing platforms to ensure
maximum uptime and availability.
Scorpio Smart Fabric Switches are rigorously tested with leading
PCIe hosts and endpoints in Astera Labs’ Cloud-Scale Interop Lab
and in customer platforms. Scorpio is now shipping in
pre-production quantities for head-node PCIe 6 connectivity and
ready to propel AI platform deployments utilizing industry-leading
GPUs with reliable plug-and-play interoperability, advanced
diagnostics and telemetry, and comprehensive design collateral.
Brian Kelleher, Senior Vice President of GPU Engineering,
NVIDIA, said, “AI infrastructure requires the right balance of
interconnect performance, efficiency and capabilities to enable
accelerated computing for AI workloads at scale. The new Scorpio
fabric switch portfolio can support NVIDIA accelerated AI
infrastructure deployments across a wide variety of AI and HPC
workloads.”
