The governance contract is the constant. The hardware is the variable. Run AnaROS on your existing rack today and get pipeline X-Ray, POFC, and AAIF verdicts as a software-only overlay. Step up to an Anavec-certified rack when the workload demands validated capacity. Run the full AnaRack platform on Anavec hardware when you want one vendor of record from system to SLO. The same AnaROS contract carries forward at every step — no rip-and-replace, no rewrites, no lock-in.
AnaROS deploys as a binary on your existing nodes — no new networking, no hardware swap, no rebuild of your CI/CD. SSH and Prometheus do the discovery; agents are optional. The platform attaches itself to your running pipelines, lights up pipeline X-Ray within an afternoon, and exposes pipeline-by-pipeline POFC telemetry and an AAIF verdict console within days.
Crucially, the contract — SDI registration semantics, pipeline X-Ray, POFC fabric, AAIF verdicts — carries forward into Path 2 and Path 3 unchanged. You can remove AnaROS at any point and your underlying cluster is exactly as you left it. Brownfield-first, by design.
Pick the tier you need — Anavec qualifies the system, firmware, OS, and the AnaROS contract together — and ship it as a certified add-on into your rack. The Anavec Ethernet switch family covers the network tier; the PCIe expansion shelf covers GPU/accelerator expansion; partner ODM-supplied compute and storage trays round out the rack. Each tier is QA'd against AnaROS so SDI registration, POFC, and verdicts work out of the box.
One vendor of record for everything Anavec-branded. One AnaROS contract for the whole rack — yours and ours. Faster time-to-value because the integration risk is gone before you take delivery.
The full AnaRack platform — heterogeneous rack chassis, capability drawers, governed perimeter, AAIF/AMSF tiers — running AnaROS natively. Anavec owns system selection, firmware, BMC, fabric, the network OS, the runtime, and the verdict engine. The customer owns workloads and policy. Everything else is one contract.
Same governance contract as Path 1 and Path 2, but with measurable TCO, guaranteed p99, and day-1 production readiness. The path of least operator friction. Ideal for new AI infrastructure buildouts, AI-first enterprises, and regulated industries with audit obligations.
Map stage timing, crash-time constraints, and tail jitter using AnaROS X-Ray before debating hardware changes. Locate the true limiters — not the assumed ones.
Standardize the rack envelope. Vary the CPU, GPU, memory, and storage mix by workload class (CPU-heavy vs data-heavy) using direct-attach policies.
Deploy one heterogeneous shelf + one warm-tier use case. Validate stable partitions and service workflows before debating larger, complex fabrics.
Three paths to adopt. One governance contract throughout. Whether you begin with software on existing hardware or commit to the full Anavec platform on day one, you are entering the same AnaROS contract — and you can step up or step back at any time.
