SmartFabric.ai - Transport and transform workflows

Proposal: Aimlux.ai MSP - AEA - SmartFabric IBM Aspera Faspex and Equitus.us KGNN (Knowledge Graph Neural Network) work together effectively, primarily because both are deeply integrated into the IBM Power ecosystem (specifically Power10 and Power11).

While  serving different functions, they are often paired in high-security, high-performance "data pipelines" where huge volumes of sensitive information need to be moved and then instantly analyzed.

How They Complement Each Other

In a typical deployment, the two products fulfill a "Transport and Transform" workflow:

| Feature | IBM Aspera Faspex | Equitus KGNN |

|---|---|---|

| Primary Role | Transport: Moves large data sets at maximum speed over any distance. | Analysis: Automatically builds knowledge graphs from raw data. |

| Technology | Uses the FASP protocol to bypass TCP bottlenecks. | Uses a native graph database engine built for IBM Power MMA. |

| Data Handling | Handles the "Ingest" phase (getting files into the system). | Handles the "Intelligence" phase (connecting dots between files). |

Common Use Cases

 * Secure Intelligence & Defense: Aspera Faspex securely transfers massive, unstructured sensor or intelligence data from the edge to a central hub. Once it arrives, Equitus KGNN automatically ingests that data to identify patterns, threats, or entities without manual data entry.

 * GPU-Free AI at the Edge: Since Equitus KGNN runs natively on IBM Power (using the Matrix Math Accelerator) and doesn't require GPUs, and Aspera is optimized for low-bandwidth/high-latency links, they are frequently used together in remote environments where cloud connectivity is restricted.

 * Automated ETL Pipelines: Organizations use Faspex to "drop" data into a watched directory. Equitus KGNN then monitors that directory to perform automated semantic mapping and entity resolution in real-time.

Technical Synergy

 * Infrastructure: Both are optimized for IBM Power10/11 hardware.

 * Storage: They both frequently sit on top of IBM Storage (FlashSystem), allowing for high-speed read/writes during the transfer and analysis phases.

 * No Cloud Dependency: Both can be deployed entirely on-premises (Air-Gapped), which is the primary reason many Equitus customers choose this specific stack.

"systems of truth"

 

To market an end-to-end service that provides  "systems of truth" through multi-layer ingestion, an AIMLUX.ai Enterprise Architect (AEA) must bridge the gap between complex hardware (IBM/x86/GPU) and high-level business intelligence.

Here are the strategic steps an AEA would take to market this service:

---

1. Discovery & Architecture Audit

The AEA begins by identifying the "pain points" of the client's current siloed data.

• Infrastructure Mapping: Evaluate the current mix of IBM Power systems, x86 servers, and chip architectures ($MMA$, $CPU$, or $GPU$).

• Efficiency Baseline: Measure current energy consumption and security vulnerabilities to create a "before" snapshot for marketing the "after."

2. Use Case & "System of Truth" Definition

Marketing the vision of Equitus—where data and analytics "talk to each other."

• Value Proposition: Positioning the "Fused Database" as the single source of truth that eliminates data redundancy.

• Outcome Mapping: Defining specific institutional goals, such as real-time financial tracking (the $\$$ icon) or global logistics (the globe icon).

3. Industry Sizing & Technical Validation

Using the Industry Sizing Tool (IST) to provide concrete data to stakeholders.

• Right-Sizing: Using the IST to prove how the proposed architecture handles multi-layer ingestion without over-provisioning hardware.

• Energy ROI: Specifically marketing the "Energy Savings" module of the architecture to appeal to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements.

4. The "POC Bridge" (Proof of Concept)

Lowering the barrier to entry by designing a low-risk pilot.

• Bridge to Deployment: Marketing a limited-scope pilot that demonstrates the "Fused Database" capability in a live environment.

• Security Validation: Proving the security improvements promised in the initial layout.

5. Deployment, Maintenance, and Training

Ensuring the "End-to-End" promise is fulfilled beyond the sale.

• Knowledge Transfer: Marketing the training programs for institutional staff to manage the new open-standard architecture.

• Managed Service (MSP) Integration: Positioning AIMLUX.ai as a long-term partner for maintenance, ensuring the "System of Truth" stays updated as technology evolves.
