A performance-integrated storage server built upon our known and trusted storage systems, offering a rich set of enterprise features including modern CPU design, performance I/O options and industry standard management.
Optimized for mixed workloads and multi-tier storage environments, with a single management interface for streamlined operations. Exos FUSE supports hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity for data mobility, delivering high performance across diverse applications without compromise.
The ideal solution for small to midsize enterprise deployments in need of a high-capacity storage and compute platform for their software and networking requirements.
Why converge compute and storage in one Exos FUSE chassis?
Exos FUSE removes the separate server tier in front of your storage — fewer boxes, fewer hops, one management plane.
Storage and Compute
Save space with up to 84 drives and dual controllers all in a single rackmount enclosure, running your software where the data already lives.
Enterprise-Grade Platform
A performance-integrated storage server built upon our known and trusted storage systems, with modern CPU design and industry standard management.
High-Density Potential
Optimal for businesses that require a PB-scale solution with the ability to expand as storage needs grow, without an ultra-dense chassis premium.
Performance I/O Options
Dual-port 10/25GbE onboard, optional dual QSFP Nvidia CX6 100GbE, plus PCIe Gen4 x16 and OCP v2.0 Gen4 x8 expansion slots.
Always Available
Ensure data is constantly available with hot-swappable power and system fan modules, drives and expander cards.
Right-Sized
Right-size your compute and storage configuration by purchasing only what you need, with high availability optional per deployment.
Which Exos FUSE modules are field-replaceable?
Dual SBB I/O controller module slots, dual power and fan modules, and toolless drive access — every field-replaceable unit is interchangeable with other Exos products.
How do the three Exos FUSE storage servers compare?
Three converged platforms — 12, 24 or 84 drive slots, all with dual AMD EPYC controller options.
Maximize high-density potential in a 5U form factor for PB-scale converged deployments.

Exos FUSE storage servers: frequently asked questions
Compute, memory, I/O and procurement answers for the Exos FUSE converged platform family.
Exos FUSE is the Exos family for an agile edge platform that converges compute and storage. The systems seamlessly integrate storage and compute to simplify data workflows and accelerate insights — advanced compute with cutting-edge storage in a single system.
Yes. The Exos application platform line is now branded Exos FUSE. The systems keep their AP model numbers: Exos FUSE AP2U12, Exos FUSE AP2U24 and Exos FUSE AP5U84.
Each controller module uses an AMD SP3 7292P EPYC CPU with 12 or 16 cores at 2.0GHz, DDR4 memory options up to 256GB per controller (4 × 32GB or 4 × 64GB DIMMs at 3200MHz) and a 256GB M.2 NVMe boot SSD.
64GB/s of I/O bandwidth (x16 Gen4 slot plus x8 Gen4 OCP plus x16 Gen3 inter-controller link). Onboard I/O is NVidia CX4 dual-port 10/25GbE, with dual-port 1GbE for management and data, and 12G x4 mini-SAS HD external expansion ports. Dual QSFP-port Nvidia CX6 100GbE is available with an interface card.
AP2U12 holds up to 12 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives, AP2U24 up to 24 2.5-inch SFF drives, and AP5U84 up to 84 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives — each with dual SBB I/O controller module slots and dual power and fan modules.
Redundancy is optional: each system takes one or two controllers, so you can select controller performance and high-availability options to match the deployment. Data stays available through hot-swappable power and system fan modules, drives and expander cards, with a redundant SAS path.
Yes — that is the point of the platform. Exos FUSE is a performance-integrated storage server built upon Seagate’s trusted storage systems, with industry standard management via Redfish API, IPMI and SES. Our Auto-Configuration with QuantaStor flyer covers one common deployment pattern.
