Unlocking computing resources for decomposable data centers

A multiple logical device (MLD) appliance of a composable data center, the MLD appliance comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the MLD appliance to perform operations comprising:
• establishing a first communication connection between a first server device of the composable data center and the MLD appliance, the first communication connection utilized to expose a computing resource of the first server device;
• establishing a second communication connection between a second server device of the composable data center and the MLD appliance, the second communication connection utilized to access the computing resource;
• receiving, from the second server device, a first ethernet frame including one or more compute express link (CXL) packets of a first CXL protocol, the one or more CXL packets indicating a request to access the computing resource;
• converting the one or more CXL packets from the first CXL protocol to a second CXL protocol;
• and
• sending, to the first server device, a second ethernet frame including the one or more CXL packets of the second CXL protocol.
