One fabric, everything connected.
Standard Ethernet. No retraining. No disruption. Effiniti makes the physical layer self-adaptable, not just programmable: one network for AI/HPC, storage, applications, and management, from inside a rack to multiple datacenters operating as one.
A $50M GPU cluster wastes $27M waiting on the network.
Over 32% of xPU time is spent waiting for data, and utilization sits below 45%, because Layer 1 has always been static. Fixed fiber paths cannot adapt to traffic in real time, so operators over-build and GPUs sit idle. Effiniti gives that compute back.
Dynamic Optical Bypass: dedicated physical paths on demand, per-flow, in 150 microseconds, with zero packet loss. Hop count drops from 3–5 to 0–2, near direct-fiber latency.
Utilization from below 45% to above 85%. Every figure traces to Astrape's measured technology page and is shown live at the Demo Center.
The physical layer adapts itself.
The switch reshapes Layer 1. The card decides, per flow, what Layer 1 should be. Neither waits on a central controller. That is the difference between a network you can program and one that adapts itself.
Where SDN with optical circuit switching puts a faster controller on top of a static physical layer, Effiniti makes the physical layer itself adapt. See the architecture
Standard Ethernet. A top-of-rack swap, not a forklift.
Your cabling, your skills
Effiniti is an Ethernet top-of-rack switch plus card software. Same cabling, same skills, same SONiC stack. No retraining.
Standalone or in your DPU
The SNIC runs standalone or integrates into a partner SmartNIC or DPU. Open platform, vendor-agnostic by design.
A scaling product line
EFFINITI-100 in pilot now, scaling to 200, 600, 2000, 8000 as port speeds arrive. An early deployment grows rather than gets replaced.
See Effiniti live.
The Astrape Demo Center is now open in Schelle, Belgium. Watch the fabric reconfigure per-flow, walk the racks, inspect the switch and the SNIC, and run your own scenarios with our engineers. Visits run up to three working days.
