Disaggregated Serving Architecture: What Is It and Why It Matters in 2026

I remember sitting in a cramped server room in early 2024, watching a single 80GB H100 choke on a long-context batch. The prefill phase ate 45 seconds. The d...

What Does Disaggregated Storage Mean? (And Why It's Reshaping AI)

At SIVARO, we spent most of 2024 watching our GPU clusters hit a wall. Not memory. Not compute cycles. The bottleneck was painfully boring: storage. Specific...

What Does It Mean to Disaggregate Data? A Practitioner’s Guide

It was 2023. We were running inference on a cluster of A100s for a client who needed low-latency answers from a 70B model. Every request felt like a gamble. ...

Does vLLM Support Disaggregated Prefill and Decode?

I spent last Thursday night in a server room – not because I’m nostalgic for the old days, but because our production cluster was thrashing. Peak traffic...

What Does Disaggregated Mean in School? (AI Inference Truth)

If you’ve ever asked yourself “what does disaggregated mean in school?” — maybe you were an educator trying to break test scores down by ethnicity, o...

What is an Example of Disaggregated Data? The Prefill/Decode Split That Changed Everything

I remember the first time we hit it. January 2025. Our flagship LLM serving pipeline was running on eight H100 nodes, and latency was all over the map. One u...

Disaggregated Architecture: The Shift That's Reshaping AI Inference

I'm sitting in a data center in Northern Virginia, July 2026, watching a cluster of 32 H100 nodes serve an LLM. The GPU utilization graph looks like a city s...

What is a Synonym for Disaggregated? (Decoupled)

I spent four months in 2024 trying to get a single 70B model to serve 10,000 concurrent users. We had 8 NVIDIA H100s in a DGX box. The model fit. The latency...

What Is Disaggregated Data? A Guide to LLM Inference Splitting

July 21, 2026 Last week a client called me at 2 AM. Their production LLM was serving 4,000 requests per second, and GPUs were melting. Turns out the bottlene...

What Is Disaggregated Inferencing? A 2026 Guide

I remember sitting in a noisy server room in late 2023, watching a single A100 chew through a 128K token prompt. The prefill took 12 seconds. The decode took...

What Is Disaggregated Prefill? (A Practitioner's Guide)

I'm going to tell you exactly what disaggregated prefill is, why we started using it at SIVARO in early 2025, and why I think most teams are still making the...

What Is Disaggregated Storage? The Full Guide

You're running LLM inference on GPU clusters. You've hit the bottleneck. It's not compute. It's memory. It's I/O. It's the fact that every GPU is holding its...

What Is Disaggregated Prefill and Decode? The Shift Reshaping AI Inference

You're running a 70B model in production. Latency is killing you. GPU utilization sits at 30%%. You've tried quantization, speculative decoding, even model di...

What Does Disaggregated Mean in Auditing? The Truth About Splitting AI Inference

I'm going to tell you something most infrastructure vendors won't. Disaggregated auditing isn't about compliance checkboxes. It's about not burning money on ...
