HighPoint is Now shipping the Rocket 7600 Series; Industry’s 1st Gen5 x16 NVMe RAID AICs & Adapters
Fremont, CA – June 2024. HighPoint is now shipping its Rocket 7600 RAID/Pro series of PCIe Gen5 x16 NVMe AICs and Adapters. These revolutionary PCIe NVMe storage solutions are capable of directly hosting up to 8 M.2 or 2.5” U.2, U.3 and E3.S media, and can be configured to host as many as 32 NVMe devices via backplane connectivity. Engineered to comply with enterprise grade computing environments and built to accommodate today’s most data-intensive AI applications, ML solutions, Scientific and Engineering workflows and Professional Media platforms, Rocket 7600 series solutions have been designed to comply with industry standard server and workstation form factors to ensure maximum reliability, endurance and compatibility.
HighPoint’s innovative PCIe Switching Architecture enables each AIC and Adapter to maximize transfer performance and storage capacity over x16 lanes of host bandwidth, and deliver real-world performance in excess of 56GB/s.
Introducing the Rocket 7628A Adapter and Rocket 7608A AIC – High-Performance 8-Channel NVMe RAID Solutions for AI Server and Workstation Applications
Available in two form factors, Rocket 7600 RAID/Pro series PCIe Gen5 x16 AICs and Adapters can be easily integrated into any industry standard x86 server or workstation platform with a free PCIe Gen5 x16 slot. The Rocket 7608A RAID AIC directly supports up to 8 M.2 NVMe SSDs, up to form factor 2280, which can be connected directly to the card internal M.2 ports. The Rocket 7682A Adapter can directly host 8 2.5” U.2, U.3 or E3.S NVMe SSDs via a selection of cabling solutions for direct to device or storage backplane connectivity. Both form factors feature integrated RAID 0, 1 and 10 technology, and can host up to 4 RAID arrays, including bootable volumes.
48 Lanes of Dedicated PCIe Gen5 Bandwidth: HighPoint’s high-performance PCIe Gen5 switching architecture integrates Broadcom’s PEX89048 switch IC to provided 48-lanes of internal Gen5 host bandwidth; x16 lanes of which are allocated to the upstream port (connection to the host platform), with x4 lanes dedicated to each device channel. The innovative architecture enables the Rocket 7600 series AICs and Adapters to deliver up to 64GB/s of transfer bandwidth, minimize latency, and facilitate consistent, robust I/O throughput.
8-Dedicated PCIe Gen5 NVMe Device Channels: Each AIC or Adapter provides 8 independent NVMe device channels, each capable of provide x4 lanes of dedicated bandwidth. This ensures each SSD can function concurrently or independently as needed, without sacrificing transfer performance, IOPS or response time.
Engineered for Seamless Integration with Enterprise Computing Environments
Engineered to excel in enterprise and business class server and workstation environments, Rocket 7600 RAID/Pro series NVMe AICs and Adapters are fully compliant with CEM (Card Electromechanical) PCIe card specifications to ensure robust connectivity and guarantee compatibility with industry standard server and datacenter chassis form factors. The innovative, refined PCB design significantly lowers power consumption and enhances signal integrity.
Rocket 7600 adapters are LP-MD2 form factor PCIe devices, are compliant with VPP (Virtual Pin Point) and UBM (Universal Backplane Management) backplane specifications, and SFF-9402 cable and port connectivity for industry-standard 2.5” drive chassis and NVMe media.
