Redefining Architecture for Unbeatable TCO

Total Cost of Ownership of Photonic Data Centers Compared to Traditional Designs

Data centers are critical infrastructure for modern businesses, facilitating the storage, processing, and dissemination of digital information. With the exponential growth of data-driven technologies, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of data center designs have become increasingly important considerations for organizations. This document explores why photonic data centers offer a superior total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to traditional data center designs.

Optimizing the Data Center

Drut Technologies is developing the DynamicXcelerator (DX) Fabric for the #AcceleratorEra, optimizing data center performance across interconnect bandwidth, software integration, power/cooling, latency, and overall system efficiency.

Our architecture separates compute, storage, GPUs, and networking into distinct resource pools. optimizes workloads, reduces costs, and maximizes resource utilization. You purchase less equipment, and our software builds exactly what your users want and when they need it. The core technology to enable this revolution is Photonic Fabric, which has inherent advantages in cost savings.

In turn, Drut's Software Platform offers a full-stack data center product suite, that allows you to repatriate away from traditional cloud vendors, with significant savings in license costs. Using a Drut solution for your AI Cloud Services, we can demonstrate up to 50% cost savings in Total Cost of Ownership leading to less equipment, less power, and less software licensing.

What drives the need to upgrade data centers?

Cloud Repatriation: saving unexpected costs, AI workloads: new infrastructure to support GPU

Expiring Maintenance: Capital acquisition

Technology Evolution: need to support the latest technology.

Photonic Fabrics for the Sustainable Future You Want:

Photonics are more energy-efficient than traditional electronics, with lower transmission losses and reduced power consumption with switches compared to their electronic counterparts. This fabric is rate and format-agnostic, ensuring the long-term viability of your purchase.

Improved Resource Efficiency with workload slicing:

We control and facilitate how nodes (CPU + Resources) are constructed within the DX fabric. We call these constructs Virtual PODs (VPODs). This fabric control provides on-demand resource slicing, allowing applications to request fabric configurations via the Drut Software Platform (DSP) for specific workloads.

Own your cloud software stacks:

Public cloud prices look attractive, but unexpected costs are expected. Private cloud software vendors are expensive and may take you in the wrong direction. Own your software, by using Open-Source cloud stacks, Drut has a variety of offerings, that allow the best combination of fully managed services, and fully free technologies, on top of the base DSP solutions.

Maximizing Data Center Efficiency and Cost Savings:

It is fantastic news for the data center user that Drut can help them with cloud repatriation, deploying the Drut Software Platform, improving power and cooling costs, as well as making the entire management and upgrade cycle of a data center operate with better fidelity. When evaluating the TCO of Drut data centers versus traditional designs, consider factors like initial capital expenditure, operational costs, energy consumption, scalability, and maintenance expenses.
