HighPoint and ICY DOCK Announce New Collaboration for Gen5 Enterprise Storage
FREMONT, CA and CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – February 2026 – HighPoint Technologies Inc., a premier manufacturer of high-performance, high-density NVMe Switch and RAID Add-In Card (AIC), Adapter Storage Solutions for off-the-shelf x86 (AMD and Intel) platforms, and ICY DOCK®, a leading manufacturer of hot-swappable enterprise and industrial grade NVMe mobile rack drive enclosures, today announced integration-ready Gen5 NVMe storage expansion solutions for high-performance edge server and workstation platforms.
The collaboration validates HighPoint’s Rocket 1600 Switch and 7600 Pro/RAID series MCIO Adapters with ICY DOCK’s MB699V5P 4-Bay PCIe Gen5 Mobile Rack, creating a seamless, high-speed, hot-swappable NVMe storage solution for enterprise workloads.
“These collaborative solutions have been engineered to meet the increasing demand for NVMe storage that delivers both high-speed processing and large-scale capacity.” Explains May Hwang, Marketing Director at HighPoint Technologies, Inc. “They are ideally suited for data-intensive workloads such as AI and machine learning, media post-production, 3D rendering, HPC, and engineering applications. By combining HighPoint’s Gen5 x16 NVMe switch adapters with ICY DOCK’s proven mobile rack architecture, this platform provides a robust yet flexible Gen5 NVMe storage expansion solution, enabling large arrays of enterprise NVMe drives to be seamlessly integrated into standard 5.25" or 3.5" chassis bays.”
“HighPoint’s Gen5 NVMe switch and RAID adapters pair perfectly with ICY DOCK’s removable U.2 drive mobile rack to solve one of the biggest challenges in enterprise NVMe deployments - scalable performance with serviceability,” said Ted Lin, USA Branch Manager at ICY DOCK. “This collaboration delivers a true plug-and-play Gen5 NVMe storage solution that enables system integrators and enterprise customers to deploy high-density NVMe storage while maintaining the flexibility to easily install, remove, and service drives in mission-critical environments.”
