RSA Conference: AIC Unveils Multi-Node Storage Product Series Designed for HCI

AIC Inc. announced its multi-node product series.

These multi-node platforms are designed for HCI with an architecture that combines compute, storage and networking support into a compact system. The company will demonstrate its 1U dual node HCI platform at RSA Conference 2020 in San Francisco, CA.

The major benefit of HCI is to create the integration of core resources. All physical and virtual resources are managed through a single administrative platform, the hypervisor, and multiple nodes can be clustered together to create pools of shared compute and storage resources. The virtualized and consolidated nature of HCI provides better space and energy utilization, eases maintenance management, and reduces TCO.

The company’s multi-node systems include:

HP101-AG front and rear

HP101-AG, 1U dual-node compute server supporting single-socket AMD EPYC boards, 2 PCIe x16 slot and OCP mezzanine card per node, with hot-swappable functionality of nodes and power supply units.

HP201-AG front and rear

HP201-AG, 2U 4-node hybrid storage server supporting single-socket AMD EPYC boards and 24 x 2.5″ NVMe SSD drive bays with hot-swappable functionality of nodes, drive bays, and power supply units.

HP202-AG front and rear

HP202-AG, 2U 4-node hybrid storage server supporting single-socket AMD EPYC boards and 12 x 3.5″ SATA/SAS drive bays with hot-swappable functionality of nodes, drive bays, and power supply units.
HP201-VL, 2U 4-node hybrid storage server supporting dual-socket 2nd Gen. Xeon Scalable Processors boards and 24 x 2.5″ NVMe SSD drive bays with hot-swappable functionality of nodes, drive bays, and power supply units.
HP202-VL, 2U 4-node hybrid storage server supporting dual-socket 2nd Gen. Xeon Scalable Processors boards and 12 x 3.5″ SATA/SAS drive bays with hot-swappable functionality of nodes, drive bays, and power supply units
HP401-PV, 4U 4-node hybrid storage server supporting dual-socket 2nd Gen. Xeon Scalable Processors boards and 24 x 3.5″ SATA/SAS drive bays with hot-swappable functionality of nodes, drive bays, and power supply units.

Maximizing the node density in a 1U chassis, the HP101-AG has two independent nodes that features the cost-effective AMD EPYC CPU.
