HighPoint Technologies and Icy Dock Partners

HighPoint Technologies Inc. and Icy Dock have formed a strategic partnership to deliver a series of high-performance, integration-friendly NVMe storage solutions for workstations, servers, and custom-built computing platforms.

Designed to addresses the growing demand for high-speed data processing and massive storage capacity in data-intensive industries, including AI/ML workloads, media post production, CAD/CAM design, 3D rendering, and HPC, the solutions leverage HighPoint’s Gen4 x16 NVMe Switch adapters with Icy Dock’s mobile racks to deliver a flexible storage expansion platform. Ideal for professional workstations and custom-built computing environments, the flexible storage infrastructure enables businesses to integrate fast, hot-swappable enterprise-grade NVMe media into industry-standard 5.25″ or 3.5″ device bays, a feature not typically available with standard workstation configurations.

PCIe Gen4 NVMe Storage Adapters
HighPoint Rocket series PCIe Gen4 x16 NVMe Adapters are powered by an integrated 48-lane PCIe Gen4 Switch IC which allocates x8 dedicated lanes to each of the 4 SlimSAS ports to deliver maximum bandwidth and transfer performance. The industry standard LP MD2 low-profile form-factor and native hardware support facilitates compatibility with a wide range of ARM and x86 Intel and AMD-based rackmount and workstation platforms.

Available for Pro series solutions, HighPoint’s RAID solution suite, Pro-Active NVMe hardware monitoring systems and firmware customization services enable customers to address project-specific performance, security and scalability requirements.

“The synergy between HighPoint’s Gen4 NVMe Switch and RAID Adapters and Icy Dock’s Mobile Rack solutions delivers the perfect balance of speed, capacity, and integration flexibility,” said May Hwang, MD, HighPoint Technologies. “The ability to easily manage and swap NVMe drives without compromising performance or reliability is a game-changer for content creators, data scientists, and engineers.”
