Integral & Open Systems (IOS) designs custom AI Network Interface Cards, SmartNICs, and high-throughput data-plane subsystems on Altera Agilex 7 and Agilex 9 devices for AI cluster, distributed inference, and accelerated database environments. Our designs scale to high-rate (up to 800 GbE class on capable devices) line speeds, with hardware support for tensor pre-processing, in-network reduction, collective operations, and protocol offload — moving the right work off the host and into the fabric where it cuts AI training and inference tail latency.
Engagements cover end-to-end data-plane design: high-speed serial I/O (10/25/100/400 GbE class with paths to higher rates on capable devices, plus PCIe Gen4/5 and CXL), packet processing pipelines, hardware-offloaded RDMA, congestion control, and AI-specific operators including all-reduce, all-gather, and tensor sharding primitives. We also build host driver stacks, kernel-bypass userspace integrations (DP...

We also build host driver stacks, kernel-bypass userspace integrations (DPDK, AF_XDP, libfabric), and management-plane software for telemetry and provisioning. Designs are validated against customer-defined performance envelopes (line-rate, p99 latency, power) before silicon hand-off.
IOS's value to AI infrastructure customers is the combination of FPGA data-plane engineering with our AI/ML, cloud, and DevSecOps teams — the AI NIC we design lands inside a defensible release pipeline and integrates with the customer's training stack rather than living as a stranded hardware island. The company is CMMC Level 2 self-certified, JCP-certified (DD Form 2345, Cert #0085055), GSA MAS contracted (47QTCA23D00CP), and a DARPA SBIR Phase II prime contractor — a fit for federal AI infrastructure programs as well as commercial AI cluster builders that need defense-grade engineering discipline.
