One Stop Systems Launches Ponto PCIe Gen 5 GPU 6U Rack Expansion System

One Stop Systems, Inc. (OSS) launches Ponto, a world’s 1st PCIe Gen 5 expansion platform supporting up to 16 full-size, high-wattage GPUs in a compact 6U rack space.

Ponto represents a pivotal advancement in the firm’s commercial strategy as the company accelerates its focus on high-performance infrastructure solutions for the next-gen of datacenter and enterprise AI workloads.

“We believe OSS’s new 16-way GPU expansion system is a leap forward in datacenter efficiency,” stated Mike Knowles, president and CEO, OSS. “Through our industry leading thermal solutions and PCIe expertise, we believe we have achieved maximum GPU density with enterprise grade reliability, empowering customers with the ability to execute AI workloads at unprecedented scale.”

Ponto delivers over 16 kW of power, or 2.7 kW/rack unit making it the highest-power GPU expansion platform in its class. The system supports 16 dual-width add-in cards using today’s latest high-powered PCIe GPU and FPGA AI accelerators, requiring up to 675W of power, or can be configured to support up to 32 single-width add-in cards. This unmatched compute density is believed to enable commercial datacenters to maximize performance per watt and performance per rack, while lowering total cost of ownership.

Built specifically for PCIe Gen 5 applications, Ponto is engineered for high-density, high-throughput environments. It supports composable infrastructure applications, a market expected to grow from $5.87 billion in 2024 to $28.44 billion by 2031, according to Verified Market Research.

Knowles continued, “We believe Ponto’s launch accelerates our commercial growth strategy. It’s optimized for enterprise environments requiring scalable PCIe expansion, whether for composable infrastructure, accelerated AI training, or next-gen inference at scale.”

Advanced Cooling and Intelligent System Management
Ponto overcomes many of the thermal barriers typical of ultra-high-density systems by integrating:

• High-voltage fans
• Custom-engineered ducting
• Dynamic fan control algorithms

These innovations help to ensure full-power, full-time operation, even in the most demanding datacenter workloads.

At the software layer, OSS’s proprietary Unified Baseboard Management Controller (U‑BMC) integrates with host servers and delivers:

• Real-time system monitoring and telemetry
• Dynamic fan control
• GPU power throttling
• Unified system management across multiple OSS devices

Ponto expands the company’s presence in the commercial compute landscape, offering enterprise customers a performance-maximized PCIe expansion system that pairs seamlessly with leading GPUs, accelerators, and high-speed networking technologies.
