This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on October 2, 2023 at 2:01 pmUnlock the otential of Dell and HP server or workstation with HighPoint, Inc.’s game changing PCIe expansion NVMe storage drives.
Designed to address modern, data-intensive, performance-hungry workflows and professional media, AI, ML and virtualization applications, the company’s RocketAIC series PCIe Gen4 and Gen3 expansion drives package a 2 to 60TB, 28GB/s transfer performance, and enterprise-grade reliability into a compact, single AIC form-factor. Shipped pre-configured, and ready for use right out of the box, they can be integrated into nearly any modern Dell or HP platform running a Windows OS or mainstream Linux distribution.
They have been vetted with an enormous range of Dell and HP factory-built computing solutions. The company have closely examined subsequent-gen of each supported platform to account for specialized variants with unique riser configurations and mixed PCIe 3.0/4.0/5.0 host interfaces, and have developed a series of compatibility and installation guides to help customers narrow down drive selection and simplify the integration process.
Validated PCIe expansion drives for Dell and HP workstation and server platforms
The firm offers a range of NVMe AIC expansion solutions designed for Dell and HP servers and workstations such as ProLiant, Z, PowerEdge and Precision series computing platforms.
The company has conducted research to evaluate the compatibility, ease of integration, and performance/capacity capabilities of the RocketAIC drives with a range of these factory-built systems. It has published a series of concise, easy to digest compatibility and setup guides to help you select the right drive for the job. Each guide examines the target system’s hardware configuration in detail, and analyzes the performance capabilities, and physical characteristics of each expansion slot and riser card, and then provide a list of recommended RocketAIC solutions.
The firm’s technical support team assists customers determine which AIC is suited to the target platform, and direct them to the RocketAIC product matrix. And the post-sales service is 2nd to none; dedicated teams of support personnel and engineering staff are devoted to the RocketAIC product line, and are familiar with Dell and HP’s platforms.
RocketAIC Ultra-Speed familyRocketAIC 7500/7100/6200 series drives: simple, compact and blisteringly fast, the Ultra-Speed series of RocketAIC drives deliver sustained transfer throughput, up to 16TB of storage, and can be integrated into a range of Dell and HP platforms. Ultra-Speed series AIC drives are available for compact and full-sized tower and rackmount chassis, and are equipped with up to 8 of Samsung’s 980PRO series M.2 SSDs.
RocketAIC Ultra-Dense familyRocketAIC 7749EW Series Drives: The firm’s RocketAIC 7749EW series AIC drives combine storage capacity with enterprise-grade reliability. Imagine over 60TB from a single GPU-sized add-in-card, backed by a 3-year warranty and TBW of 112PB. RockeAIC Ultra-Dense series expansion drives are designed to maintain optimal transfer throughput in the most grueling 24/7 workflows, and benefit from Solidigm’s DWPD ratings, and enterprise feature set, which includes PLP (power loss protection). PLP enables the SSD to flush cached data to permanent memory in the case of sudden power loss.
Decades long storage ecosystem partnerships and system development expertise
For the past 3 decades, the company has designed, manufactured and deployed a range of field-proven host-RAID AICs, connectivity adapters, enclosures and storage drive solutions for IDE, SAS, SATA, USB, Thunderbolt and NVMe interfaces, across all major x86 Intel/AMD, Apple and ARM computing platforms. Over the years, it has established ecosystem partnerships with ileading storage media manufacturers to ensure its products and solutions are compatible with the widest possible range of drives and computing platforms. This has enabled the company to select the best-in-class NVMe media in today’s marketplace for integration with the RocketAIC series PCIe expansion drives, and deliver storage density, performance and reliability.
Decades of development experience with all major OSs platforms have enabled the firm to provide software support for our entire NVMe product portfolio. Its device driver and management suites enable ‘Vertical Application clientele’ to rapidly deploy Ultra-Dense and Ultra-Speed series RocketAIC drives into any modern Linux, Windows and macOS based computing environment.
