The architecture behind a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) solution directly shapes its performance capabilities—especially in the era of NVMe storage, where maximum throughput and the mitigation of latency define competitive advantage. With workloads spanning AI/ML, HPC, data analytics, and high-resolution media, the industry now differentiates between Traditional Hardware RAID  and Hardware-Accelerated NVMe RAID (also known as Hardware-Switched RAID or Hardware-Assisted RAID)....

For modern computing platforms, especially those tasked with hosting demanding AI, ML and HPC applications, PCIe connectivity defines scalability. In this regard, HighPoint’s PCIe Switch Adapters are true stand-outs for their simplicity and universality - despite supporting advanced Broadcom PEX88048 (Gen4) and PEX89048 (Gen5) switch chipsets, these adapters require no dedicated device driver to perform optimally in a modern Windows OS or Linux Distribution. Foregoing a device driver isn’t a...

For years, IT architects have been locked in a "chassis-first" mindset. If you needed more GPU power, your best option was to upgrade to a new server. This led to stranded resources , where high-end CPUs sat idle because the internal PCIe slots were full or the power supply couldn't handle another H100 or RTX 5090 GPU. The era of Composable/Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI)  is changing the game. By moving GPUs out of the server and into dedicated external enclosures, you unlock a...
