HighPoint Technologies, a leader in high-performance storage solutions, has announced the launch of the Rocket 7638D, a revolutionary PCIe Gen 5 switch adapter engineered to solve the most critical bottleneck in modern AI/ML workflows: data starvation. The adapter's groundbreaking hardware architecture provides a foundational platform for GPU-Direct NVMe storage, enabling NVIDIA GPUs to directly access massive datasets without the performance penalties of CPU bottlenecks. The Rocket 7638D is designed to help AI professionals maximize their return on investment by ensuring their GPUs are always at full utilization, accelerating model training, inference, and data preprocessing to unprecedented speeds.

The Paradigm Shift: From Conventional to Direct
For decades, the path from storage to compute has been a bottleneck. Data has had to travel from an NVMe drive, through the host CPU, and into the GPU's memory—a slow, inefficient process that wastes valuable compute cycles. The Rocket 7638D shatters this conventional model. It is the first 48-lane Gen 5 PCIe switch adapter engineered with a dedicated x16 Gen 5 pathway for both an external GPU and NVMe storage from a single slot. This architecture creates a direct, peer-to-peer data channel that bypasses the host CPU entirely.

We are thrilled to announce a landmark pricing strategy for our Gen 5 x16 4x M.2 NVMe AIC series, making cutting-edge performance more accessible than ever. Now available for USD$999 and $899 respectively, the Rocket 7604A RAID AIC and Rocket 1604A Switch AIC represent an exceptional value by doubling the performance capabilities of conventional 4-port NVMe solutions with over 50 GB/s+ of real-world transfer speed.

HighPoint's unique performance-focused NVMe architecture utilizes intelligent switch technology to allocate up to x4 lanes of bandwidth to each NVMe device port. This enables our 8-port controllers to fully saturate x16 lanes of host bandwidth using as little as four NVMe SSDs. However, additional SSDs can be added to maximize storage capacity, or fine tune the configuration for a specific application by optimizing a RAID array for sequential or random I/O.

While NVMe storage devices offer significant performance and reliability advantages over their platter-based counterparts, many Linux and VMware based applications continue to rely on older SAS & SATA solutions due to the ready availability of firmware level RAID storage and native driver support. This combination greatly simplifies the kernel update process while minimizing downtime. RAID solutions with native driver support will be treated as embedded devices, and do not need to be updated separately to comply with the kernel change.

The SSD6200 product family was designed to address these concerns. The NVMe RAID capability is integrated at the firmware level, and functions independent of the host. In addition, SSD6200 series controllers are natively supported by all major Virtualization platforms, such as VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and Proxmox, and all current versions and distributions of Windows, Linux and FreeBSD operating systems. This native, In-Box driver support ensures administrators are free to update the Kernel, apply patches, or download and install scheduled updates whenever the need arises, using standard operating procedures. No work-arounds, no hassles, no surprises.
