The Oscuro Advantage

A Different Approach to the Data Path

​

AI and high-performance computing systems continue to increase the demands placed on infrastructure.

More compute does not solve every infrastructure problem.

Data still has to move from storage to the systems processing it.

Oscuro AI focuses on that data path.

Our technology combines FPGA-enabled processing, NVMe storage, Ethernet transport, and disaggregated infrastructure to create a high-performance path between storage and compute.

​

Move the Work Into the Infrastructure

​

Traditional architectures can place significant data-movement work on host CPUs and software layers.

Oscuro moves critical data-path functions into programmable hardware.

FPGA technology provides the processing environment for the Oscuro data path, allowing infrastructure functions to be performed closer to the movement of the data.

The objective is to reduce unnecessary work on host systems while maintaining a direct, high-performance path between storage and compute.

​

NVMe at the Source

​

Modern AI and HPC workloads depend heavily on high-performance storage.

Oscuro works directly with NVMe-based storage as part of the data path rather than treating storage as an isolated resource that must be repeatedly abstracted through layers of software.

This allows the architecture to treat storage and compute as resources connected through a high-performance infrastructure fabric.

​

Ethernet as the Transport

​

Oscuro uses Ethernet as the transport fabric for the data path.

That matters because Ethernet is already deeply established throughout modern data centers and infrastructure environments.

The architecture is designed to use commercially available Ethernet infrastructure rather than requiring a purpose-built proprietary network fabric.

​

Layer 2 Data Transport

​

Oscuro's architecture uses Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity to create a direct data path between infrastructure resources.

This provides a deterministic transport environment while avoiding the need to turn the data path into a conventional routed network architecture.

The result is an infrastructure approach centered on moving data efficiently between storage and compute rather than adding layers of abstraction around the movement itself.

​

Disaggregated Infrastructure

​

Oscuro separates storage and compute resources so they can be treated as infrastructure components rather than permanently locked into individual systems.

That allows organizations to design infrastructure around workload requirements.

Storage can be scaled independently.

Compute can be scaled independently.

The data path connects the resources.

This approach can provide greater flexibility as AI and HPC environments evolve.

​

Built Around Commercial Hardware

​

Oscuro technology is designed to operate with commercially available infrastructure components.

Organizations can select the compute, NVMe storage, Ethernet infrastructure, FPGA platforms, and supporting hardware appropriate for their deployment.

The architecture is therefore not dependent on a single proprietary hardware stack.

​

Performance Where It Matters

​

Oscuro's architecture is designed for workloads where data movement and latency directly affect infrastructure performance.

The technology has its roots in the high-performance storage architecture developed through Apeiron Data Systems and the ADS1000.

Oscuro continues that architectural direction for modern AI, HPC, and data-intensive environments.

Performance is not treated as a single component specification.

It is an architectural property of the entire data path.

​

One Data Path

​

The concept is simple:

NVMe Storage → FPGA Data Path → Layer 2 Ethernet → Compute

The value comes from how those components work together.

Storage provides the data.

The FPGA provides programmable data-path processing.

Ethernet provides the transport.

Compute processes the workload.

Oscuro focuses on the layer connecting them.

​

Infrastructure Designed Around the Workload

​

Oscuro does not require organizations to redesign their entire data center around a proprietary infrastructure ecosystem.

The architecture is designed to work within conventional infrastructure environments using commercially available components.

That gives organizations the ability to build around their actual workload requirements rather than forcing the workload into a predetermined infrastructure model.

​

The Difference

​

Oscuro is focused on a specific problem:

How efficiently can infrastructure move data from where it is stored to where it is processed?

That question becomes increasingly important as AI and high-performance computing continue to scale.

Oscuro addresses the data path.

Storage.
Data path.
Transport.
Compute.

That is the architecture.
