HighPoint FnL AIC RAID Drives Open Platform for NVMe RAID Solutions

HighPoint Technologies, Inc. has launched FnL – Fast n’ Little NVMe AIC RAID Drives.

They were designed to take the pain and guesswork out of NVMe RAID technology, and represent a new, open-platform approach for developing, building and integrating NVMe-based RAID storage solutions. They combine the company’s SSD series NVMe RAID controllers with select SSD’s provided by  NVMe technology partners. FnL provides a performance and compatibility information to aid customers select or build a solution that meets the needs of each application.

FnL AIC Drives: Complete, out-of-the-box ready storage solutions
The company is no longer just a component supplier and HBA/RAID controller manufacturer. Its FnL AIC Drive series are complete, out-of-the-box ready NVMe RAID storage solutions.

Years of storage expertise and technology partnerships with industry NVMe SSD vendors enables the firm to deliver fast, pre-configured NVMe RAID storage for a range of applications, with little to no markup.

FnL AIC Drives are ready for work right out of the package, and can be integrated into nearly any industry standard PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 computing platform by the most novice of users. They are available for all major OSs including Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and virtualization platforms such as VMware, Citrix Hypervisor, Proxmox and Hyper-V.

Transparent performance and compatibility testing
The firm publish detailed performance and compatibility testing reports for both Intel and AMD platforms, all of which are made available to the general public. FnL AIC Drives are benchmarked using a selection of established, industry standard benchmark utilities which are configured to simulate real-world application workloads.

Have a unique application, hardware environment or custom build requirement? Drop us a line! FnL’s experienced staff can provide testing reports that document the compatibility and performance capabilities of a given AIC Drive for a particular build or platform. Customers can specify the hardware and software requirements, testing suites and performance targets.

Wide AIC RAID Drive selections
No other NVMe storage solution provider comes close – we offer the industry’s widest selection of pre-configured NVMe RAID storage. Customers can easily spec an NVMe AIC AID Drive for a particular platform, OS, capacity requirement and application.

In addition, the company offer custom builds and specialized services for applications with hardware or software environments, form-factors or performance targets. Its Silent Running AIC Drives utilize robust, fan-less cooling systems and are for applications that require a controlled, distraction free working environment. Its BRD series of bootable AIC drives feature driverless, plug-and-play installation and are natively support by professional VM platforms. Customers with performance or capacity requirements can opt for CRD Series, which utilize the firm’s Cross-Sync RAID technology to link up to 4 independent AIC Drives to function as a single, massive storage device, with up to 64TB of capacity and capable of delivering over 40,000MB/s of transfer bandwidth.

BRD Series – Driverless, bootable NVMe RAID drives

FnL BRD series AIC drives expertly tuned to deliver random I/O performance, and are for professional applications that require secure, rapid boots and high-speed workspace. This serie can be used to boot a spectrum of modern OSs and VM platforms, and are compatible with both PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 capable motherboards.

SRD Series – Storage NVMe RAID drives

SRD AIC drives were designed for professional workflows that require high-performance workspace and massive storage capacity in a compact, easy to integrate package. They are for high-speed data acquisition and processing applications such as AI training, scientific analysis and simulation, 3D rendering systems, and large-scale media capture & security solutions.

CRD Series – Cross-Sync NVMe RAID drives

CRD (Cross-Sync RAID AIC drives) were designed for applications with storage performance and capacity requirements. These solutions employ the company’s Cross-Sync RAID striping technology to link 2 or more AIC Drives to function as a single massive RAID volume. A Gen4 CRD AIC RAID drive is capable of providing up to 64TB of storage capacity while delivering an astonishing 40,000MB/s+ of transfer performance.
