HighPoint Technologies, a leading provider of high-performance, high-density NVMe switch and RAID adapter storage solutions for x86 platforms from AMD and Intel, has announced a new collaboration with ICY DOCK, a top manufacturer of hot-swappable NVMe mobile rack enclosures for enterprise and industrial use. Together, the companies are delivering integration-ready PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage expansion solutions designed for high-performance edge servers and workstation environments.
As part of this collaboration, HighPoint’s Rocket 1600 Switch and 7600 Pro/RAID series MCIO adapters have been validated with ICY DOCK’s MB699V5P four-bay PCIe Gen5 mobile rack. The combined solution enables a streamlined, high-speed, hot-swappable NVMe storage platform tailored to demanding enterprise workloads.
“These collaborative solutions have been engineered to meet the increasing demand for NVMe storage that delivers both high-speed processing and large-scale capacity.” Explains May Hwang, Marketing Director at HighPoint Technologies, “They are ideally suited for data-intensive workloads such as AI and machine learning, media post-production, 3D rendering, HPC, and engineering applications. By combining HighPoint’s Gen5 x16 NVMe switch adapters with ICY DOCK’s proven mobile rack architecture, this platform provides a robust yet flexible Gen5 NVMe storage expansion solution, enabling large arrays of enterprise NVMe drives to be seamlessly integrated into standard 5.25″ or 3.5″ chassis bays.”
“HighPoint’s Gen5 NVMe switch and RAID adapters pair perfectly with ICY DOCK’s removable U.2 drive mobile rack to solve one of the biggest challenges in enterprise NVMe deployments – scalable performance with serviceability,” said Ted Lin, USA Branch Manager at ICY DOCK. “This collaboration delivers a true plug-and-play Gen5 NVMe storage solution that enables system integrators and enterprise customers to deploy high-density NVMe storage while maintaining the flexibility to easily install, remove, and service drives in mission-critical environments.”
