What FUSION: External Appliances brings together.
WHAT IT ENABLES
Core compute, Matrix active data, and Vault persistent storage form one topology-aware external hardware fabric from compact desktop systems to datacenter racks.
One external hardware fabric
01Core, Matrix, and Vault appliances share identity, discovery, topology, integrity, authorization, health, and lifecycle 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.
FUSION: Vault · persistent storage
04Extend high-speed, compression- and deduplication-aware storage from smartphone-sized portable appliances through desktop arrays, business racks, and datacenter systems.
A software-defined motherboard
05FusionRuntime can see which capabilities and data providers exist, where they are, how they are connected, and whether they are healthy and authorized.
Direct, verified data paths
06Large inputs and outputs move between authorized providers over content-verified paths while the control plane coordinates placement, policy, provenance, and recovery.
Scale without losing topology
07Add capacity horizontally while keeping latency, bandwidth, congestion, failure domains, trust, and physical placement visible to scheduling decisions.
Built for evolution
08Stable capability contracts let processors, memory technologies, storage media, enclosures, and transports improve without rewriting every Fusion application.
