d-Matrix acquires GigaIO data center unit for rack-scale AI inference systems

d-Matrix said it has acquired GigaIO’s data center business, adding rack-scale infrastructure engineering and high-performance interconnect expertise aimed at accelerating deployments of low-latency, efficient AI inference in data centers. The companies said they’d been collaborating since 2025, and the acquisition is intended to expand d-Matrix’s ability to support system-level deployments around its AI inference platform.

In the announcement, d-Matrix described its end-to-end AI inference platform as spanning Corsair inference accelerators, JetStream networking, and Aviator software, along with the d-Matrix SquadRack rack-scale reference architecture developed in collaboration with Broadcom and Arista. d-Matrix also said it acquired GigaIO’s “core data center technologies,” naming SuperNODE and the FabreX PCIe-based memory fabric, to support its system-level infrastructure roadmap.

For data center engineers, the signal here is d-Matrix pushing beyond silicon and software into more of the rack- and system-integration layer, where topology, interconnect choice, and memory/IO fabrics can determine whether inference clusters hit latency targets at scale. And because inference is often latency-sensitive, design details like how data traverses chips, nodes, and racks can matter as much as raw compute throughput.

“Inference is bigger than any one chip. It’s now a systems problem,” said Sid Sheth, founder and CEO of d-Matrix. He added that as workloads are “disaggregated across CPUs, GPUs, and inference accelerators,” “data must move efficiently across chips, nodes, racks, and entire data centers in real time,” and that the acquisition “accelerates our ability to deliver infrastructure built for this new reality, where low latency, efficiency, and scale all matter at once.”

d-Matrix said the deal adds a team of systems engineers based in Carlsbad, California, and establishes a new engineering presence in Southern California. The company said this extends its footprint to six “innovation hubs” across North America, Europe, and Asia. GigaIO will continue as an independent entity focused on edge computing, according to the announcement.

d-Matrix did not disclose financial terms, customer deployment details, or timelines for integrating the acquired technologies into productized rack-scale offerings.
