The HighPoint Rocket 7638D  is a revolutionary external Gen5 PCIe Expansion Adapter engineered to eliminate one of the most critical performance barriers in modern AI, ML, and data-intensive computing — data starvation . The Rocket 7638D innovative hardware architecture leverages PCIe switching technology to establish a direct data path between GPUs and NVMe storage and eliminate CPU related bottlenecks. The pathway provides x16 lanes of dedicated Gen5 bandwidth and allows NV

For most, an External Accelerator Enclosure is a long-term investment. Choosing then deploying the right enclosure can have a dramatic impact on high-compute workflows, delivering the performance and reliability you need to fully exercise of your high-value Gen5 accelerator cards. The Checklist While many enclosure products claim  Gen5 support, few can deliver on the three critical areas required for maximum performance: Bandwidth Reliability, Sustained Power, and Physical Co

The leap from PCIe Gen4 to Gen5 doubled the data rate from 16GT/s to 32GT/s, and is capable of delivering up to 64GB/s of real-world transfer bandwidth, this transition has introduced a critical engineering problem: signal integrity. When data travels over an external cable—no matter how high-quality—the high-speed Gen5 signal quickly degrades due to attenuation and jitter. For the host system to correctly read the data, this signal must be clean. The Retimer Difference: Acti

The PCIe Gen5 era has fundamentally changed the power requirements for high-performance computing. While many external enclosures rely on standard power supplies that deliver between 400 and 850W, this range of capacity is no longer sufficient for today's flagship GPUs and accelerator cards. For mission-critical AI training, simulations and other HPC workflows, the only way to ensure unconstrained performance is with the dedicated 1300W PSU support  found in the RocketStor 86

For enterprise architects and solution providers, investing in proprietary, closed-loop solutions is a risk that compromises long-term flexibility and scalability. And in regards to external PCIe Gen5 connectivity, the PCI-SIG CopprLink  standard is the only reliable path forward. HighPoint’s Rocket 7634D  is engineered around this standard, positioning it not just as a PCIe expansion card, but as an Expansion Hub for your target platform’s external PCIe Ge n5 Ecosystem. The

In today's dynamic AI environments, IT infrastructure must be composable—the ability to dynamically allocate high-value GPUs and FPGAs to the servers and workstations that need them most. The Host Interface Card (HIC)  is the critical link enabling this flexibility. HighPoint Rocket 7634D PCIe Gen5 CopprLink HIC  is an essential Host Bridge , offering a clear value proposition for building external PCIe Gen5 infrastructure focused on performance, efficiency, and architectural

The Modern Storage Performance Mandate The real-world demands of today’s artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), large language model (LLM) training, and real-time analytics environments require storage infrastructure designed to maximize speed and minimize latency to head off the threat of a compute bottleneck and maintain peak offload performance. This is in direct contrast to storage architecture employed by conventional server/workstation platforms
