Whether it’s powering hyperscale data centers, AI clusters, or high-density compute platforms, technology partners are no longer evaluated solely on spec sheets or performance claims. In our industry, the truest measure of success, trust, and capability, is whether a solution is ‘designed in’ at the board level.

At Kandou AI, our Regli PCIe/CXL retimers are being designed into production systems across three critical verticals: Artificial Intelligence, Storage, and Compute. These are not pilot projects — they are integrated into ODM-manufactured platforms supporting some of the most demanding and high-volume deployments in the industry.

AI Systems: Meeting the Interconnect Challenge

AI workloads are characterized by extremely high data throughput, tight latency budgets, and increased deployment scale. Traditional interconnect solutions struggle to meet signal integrity requirements at the speeds demanded by PCIe Gen 5 and CXL-based architectures.

What Kandou AI’s Regli retimers can do for AI systems

Our Regli retimers are being designed into next-generation AI accelerators and inference platforms to:

  • Extend PCIe 5.0 reach with full compliance and no compromise on latency
  • Mitigate signal degradation across complex topologies and multiple board layers
  • Ensure deterministic performance in multi-GPU/AI chip configurations

In collaboration with ODMs, our devices enable system designers to maintain full PCIe spec margins while allowing flexible layout and optimized board real estate.

Storage Platforms: Enabling Fast, Scalable Access

With storage moving toward disaggregated and composable architectures, bandwidth is everything. Systems need to support high-speed NVMe over PCIe across chassis and rack boundaries, often pushing signal quality to the limits.

How Regli enhances performance across the board

Kandou AI’s PCIe/CXLretimers are ‘designed in’ to:

  • Maintain signal fidelity over longer traces and challenging routing scenarios
  • Support hot-plug and dynamic topology reconfiguration
  • Enable composable infrastructure with multiple endpoints per root complex

By delivering error-free PCIe 5.0 communication in real-world environments, Kandou AI enhances the reliability and responsiveness of modern hyperscale storage backplanes.

Compute: Retiming at the Heart of the Data Center

The central compute complex in modern data centers—whether built around x86, Arm, or custom silicon—relies on high-speed interconnects not only within a board, but across CPUs, accelerators, memory, and I/O.

How our retimers go beyond today in readiness for the future

Our retimers are ‘designed in’ to:

  • Improve system margin and design flexibility for PCIe 5.0/CXL interconnects
  • Minimize jitter and crosstalk to meet eye diagram and BER compliance
  • Future-proof compute systems for Gen 6 readiness with forward-looking design

This allows system architects to scale performance without sacrificing signal integrity or increasing board complexity.

Why “Design In” Is a Signal of Trust

Being “designed in” means Kandou AI is not just a component supplier—it means our technology is core to the system’s physical and performance architecture. It reflects validation through rigorous qualification cycles, signal integrity simulations, interoperability testing, and production readiness.

Our presence in AI, Storage, and Compute platforms—deployed globally via industry-leading ODMs—is a strong signal that Kandou’s retimer technology is proven at scale and trusted in production.
