# Fabric Designer

## 🌐 **Fabric Designer**

The **Fabric Designer** empowers users to easily **orchestrate Spectrum-X deployments** with support for both **1SU** and **2SU topologies**, delivering flexibility for different scale requirements.

With ONES, users can effortlessly **design complete GPU networks** powered by **Spectrum-X** 🌐. By providing just a few simple inputs ⌨️, ONES recommends the optimal **switches (spine & leaf) and servers** ⚙️. Users can then deploy these seamlessly, while ONES takes care of **end-to-end orchestration** 🚀 — ensuring a streamlined, reliable, and automated GPU fabric design.

🚀 **Key Capabilities:**

* **Intuitive Orchestration** – Simplifies complex network setups with a guided, user-friendly workflow.
* **Multi-Tenancy Support** – Enables multiple organizations or business units to share infrastructure securely, with clear isolation of resources.
* **Scalable Design** – Built to grow with your infrastructure, ensuring seamless expansion without added complexity.
* **Consistency & Reliability** – Automatically validates configurations to reduce errors and improve deployment confidence.
* **Faster Time-to-Value** – Cuts down deployment cycles, allowing enterprises to get Spectrum-X running in minutes instead of days.

With **Fabric Designer**, administrators can achieve a **future-ready, multi-tenant network fabric** that is both **scalable** and **efficient**, while maintaining the highest standards of performance and reliability.
