COSMOS Features and Benefits

Platform Integration

  • Device Configuration

    Enables automated setup, real-time parameter tuning, and consistent provisioning across diverse hardware platforms.

  • Electrical Testing

    Automate signal validation, monitor voltage and current metrics in real time, and accelerate fault detection across complex hardware systems.

  • Deep Diagnostics

    Quickly and easily identify data center bottlenecks that directly impact AI workload performance.

Rack Deployment

  • System Configuration

    Streamlines system configuration by providing centralized control, automated setup, and dynamic reconfiguration.

  • Protocol Testing

    Automates validation workflows, capturing detailed trace data, and enabling rapid debugging across complex interface standards.

  • Stress Testing

    Inject errors, log events, and correlate issues, and pinpoint them down to the lane.

Fleet Management

  • Lifecycle Management

    Manages firmware revisions across fleets, ensures fallback to trusted versions, and maintains a full audit history.

  • Event Logging

    Capture timestamped records of key events, anomalies, and threshold crossings- enabling traceability, root cause analysis, and proactive issue resolution.

  • Predictive Analytics

    Detect patterns early to prevent failures and optimize performance.
