Extend Fusion beyond the computer without fragmenting the platform.

INFRASTRUCTURE / Fusion External Appliances Fusion External Appliances bring compute, active data, persistent storage, and local accessory devices into one topology-aware system through the Fusion Fabric scalable connection interface. Core, Matrix, and Vault modules can form a compact self-contained computer, connect directly to a nearby workstation or FOH position, or scale through cabled racks and server-farm deployments.

How it connects

Portfolio advantageShared identity, storage, intelligence, automation, and security capabilities connect Fusion External Appliances with Fusion Core, Fusion Matrix, and VaultX without forcing them into one oversized application.
Compact Fusion Fabric modules, an accessory hub, and a connected professional appliance rack

What Fusion External Appliances brings together.

WHAT IT ENABLES Core, Matrix, Vault, and accessory modules share Fusion Fabric from compact computers and stage systems to production racks and datacenter pools.

Fusion Fabric connection interface

01Core, Matrix, Vault, and approved accessory devices share discovery, topology, authorization, health, lifecycle, and efficient parallel data-path contracts instead of behaving like unrelated peripherals.

Fusion Core · compute

02Add CPU, GPU, NPU, FPGA, DSP, media, AI, and compression capabilities through compact, professional, business, rack, and cloud-scale configurations.

Fusion Matrix · active data

03Expand topology-visible working sets, buffers, caches, shared data, high-bandwidth memory, and NVMe-backed overflow close to eligible compute.

VaultX · persistent storage

04Extend high-speed, compression- and deduplication-aware storage from smartphone-sized portable appliances through desktop arrays, business racks, and datacenter systems.

Modules that become a computer

05Combine the right Core, Matrix, Vault, and I/O modules into a compact self-contained Fusion computer while keeping each capability independently serviceable and replaceable.

Accessory and hybrid devices

06Network, USB, media, control, sensor, and other local hubs can join the fabric, while hybrid devices can combine more than one role when a smaller deployment benefits from tighter integration.

Stage, studio, and FOH proximity

07Modules can become focused stage devices, and nearby equipment racks can connect directly to a production computer or mixing position when the physical layout supports a short fabric path.

Rack and server-farm scale

08Larger systems use rack devices, fabric connectors, and cables to add parallel compute and data capacity while preserving bandwidth, latency, congestion, trust, and failure-domain topology.
