HighPoint Launches Industry's First PCIe Gen5 x16 NVMe Switch and RAID Products
Revolutionary Data Transfer Technology for Data-Intensive Applications
HighPoint has announced the launch of the industry's first 8-Channel PCIe Gen5 x16 NVMe Switch and NVMe RAID product lines, which are set to revolutionize the world of data transfer. Featuring Broadcom’s PEX89048 IC, these groundbreaking products support high-demand, data-intensive applications across Intel and AMD platforms.
This innovative architecture allows each AIC/Adapter to maximize transfer performance for up to 8 independent device channels and support as many as 32 NVMe devices through backplane connectivity.
Extreme Performance Capabilities
The Rocket 1600 series NVMe Switch can enable a staggering 2PB solution using Solidigm 61.44TB SSDs, assuming compatibility. HighPoint's PCIe Gen5 NVMe AICs utilize Broadcom’s 48-Channel PEX89048 switch IC to provide x16 lanes of dedicated PCIe Gen5 upstream bandwidth, offering up to 64GB/s of transfer bandwidth, minimized latency, and consistent, robust I/O throughput.
The "Synthetic Hierarchy" technique isolates the host system's operating system from any PCIe physical changes, allowing the AIC/Adapter to directly manage resource allocation to the downstream PCIe channels and provide true hot-swap/hot-plug capabilities.
The Future of NVMe Solutions
HighPoint's NVMe Switch Series includes three different models to cater to various needs, while its RocketRAID 7600 PCIe Gen5 NVMe RAID AICs and Adapters build on the Rocket 1600 Switch series foundation, offering RAID capabilities with compatibility with qualified NVMe drives from ecosystem partners.
With an expected global shipping date in Q3 2024, these HighPoint PCIe Gen5 NVMe AICs are poised to set a new standard in data transfer technology and performance.
