HighPoint Technologies is set to unveil a PCIe Gen5 x16 NVMe solutions to deliver nearly 60GB/s of real-world transfer performance and up to 2 Petabytes of storage capacity from a single PCIe slot.

HighPoint will be showcasing a comprehensive selection of NVMe AICs, Adapters and External Storage solutions for x86 server and workstation platforms, and will introduce our product roadmap for the second half of 2024 and beyond.

Live demonstrations

HighPoint is excited to announce that we will be conducting live demonstrations of our groundbreaking PCIe Gen5 x16 NVMe storage technology throughout the show. Tailored for AI data pipeline infrastructure, the demonstration platform will illustrate how our NVMe RAID AICs, Adapters and enclosures tackle data ingestion, analysis and archiving/restoration workflows, and how each device can be managed and monitored via an intuitive, universal web-based software interface. In addition, we will be introducing our Real-time Advanced Environmental Sensor Logging & Analysis Suite, which enables customers to take a proactive approach to NVMe storage management by closely monitoring the hardware environment in real time.
