Drut Fabric Interface Card 1000, is a first generation photonic fabric card designed for PCIe Gen 3. The card is designed to operate in one of two modes: Initiator Fabric Interface Card (iFIC) or Target Fabric Interface Card (tFIC). In the iFIC mode the card is intended to be placed in the server. It requires a full length / half height PCIe Gen 3 slot. In the tFIC mode, the card is designed to be placed in Drut PRU 1000 or other compatible PCIe resource chassis. Each FIC has four QSPF28 pluggable optic cages supporting NxQSFP28. Each fabric card will come programmed to be an iFIC or tFIC.
This diagram illustrates how the iFIC 1000 is connected to the fabric and the existing network hierarchy.
The FIC 1000 can be used as the interface module, to build a Drut disaggregated photonic fabric.
Direct connect, all photonic fabric provides the lowest possible latency allowing valuable machine resources to be directly connected in a machine cluster
Photonics eliminates the distance and physical locality challenges in the data center
Removing stacked hierarchies of switches, protocols and overlays is the most direct way to remove complexity
Grouping resources via direct connect around workloads resolves the stranded resource challenge
Workloads do not transgress over racks, spines and cores.
By decoupling the resource upgrade path from server upgrade path, users have a better fidelity of choice when and what to upgrade.
