HighPoint Technologies has announced two new adapters for industrial PCIe expansion - the Rocket 1628A and 1528D. These innovative solutions can significantly increase the number of connected storage devices in servers and workstations using just a single PCIe slot.
Technical Specifications of the Adapters
The Rocket 1628A adapter supports connecting up to 32 NVMe SSD drives in M.2 format, making it an ideal solution for tasks requiring maximum data storage performance. The 1528D model offers a more versatile approach, allowing connection of up to 8 different PCIe devices in one slot.
Both adapters utilize PCIe 4.0 technology, ensuring high throughput and low latency. Maximum aggregate throughput can reach 128 GB/s for the 1628A model when using high-performance NVMe drives.
Industrial Applications
The new HighPoint adapters are particularly relevant for data centers, cloud providers, and enterprises working with large data volumes. They enable maximum efficient use of the limited number of PCIe slots in server systems.
The Rocket 1628A is ideal for creating high-performance storage arrays, caching systems, and real-time big data processing solutions. The 1528D model provides flexibility when connecting various types of expansion devices.
Business Benefits
Using HighPoint adapters allows significant reduction in the number of required servers and lowers the total cost of ownership for infrastructure. Companies can deploy more compact and energy-efficient solutions without performance loss.
Particularly important is the hot-plug capability for devices, which minimizes system downtime during maintenance or component replacement. This is critical for business-critical applications requiring continuous operation.
Compatibility and Support
The adapters are compatible with major operating systems, including Windows Server, Linux, and VMware vSphere. HighPoint provides full technical support and regular driver updates to ensure stable operation.
Management and monitoring systems allow administrators to track the status of all connected devices in real-time, simplifying maintenance and preventing potential issues.
Impact on the Storage Market
The emergence of such solutions indicates growing demand for high-density data storage systems. Analysts predict that similar adapters will become standard for corporate data centers in the coming years.
Competition in this segment is also intensifying, as other manufacturers like Broadcom and Microsemi are working on similar solutions for industrial applications.
