The Collaboration Synergizes HighPoint’s RocketStor 4243AS 24-Bay NVMe-oF Platform with Insyde’s Advanced OpenBMC Firmware, Bringing True Data Center Automation and Scalability to AI, HPC, and Cloud Infrastructure.

FREMONT, CA & TAIPEI, TAIWAN – June 2026 – HighPoint Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of next-generation high-performance storage and connectivity solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Insyde® Software, a premier provider of UEFI BIOS and systems management firmware. This milestone collaboration introduces enterprise-grade, out-of-band (OOB) OpenBMC management capability to HighPoint’s newly launched RocketStor 4243AS, a 24-bay Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI) NVMe-oF rackmount storage platform.

As modern data centers face unprecedented demands, the simultaneous, aggressive scaling of both raw performance and massive storage capacity has pushed traditional server architectures past their physical limits. To prevent resource bottlenecks in AI, machine learning, and High-Performance Computing (HPC), data centers are rapidly shifting toward composable architectures that decouple these assets—allowing ultra-dense flash pools to scale capacity and performance independently over Network / PCIe Fabrics, while making out-of-band management a mission-critical requirement.

The RocketStor 4243AS features Dual 100GbE connectivity network connectivity, native support for both RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) and TCP network protocols, and a built-in hardware BMC baseboard. By integrating Insyde’s robust OpenBMC system management software, the RocketStor 4243AS offers fully compliant Redfish® framework, giving operators complete infrastructure visibility, strict security controls, and intelligent thermal defense systems.

"The RocketStor 4243AS represents a major architectural milestone for HighPoint as we expand our lane-optimized heritage into networked fabric storage,” said May Hwang, Director of Marketing at HighPoint Technologies, Inc. "By combining our line-rate Dual 100GbE hardware bridging architecture with Insyde’s hardened OpenBMC solution, we are effectively eliminating the 'enterprise tax' that has historically plagued CDI deployments. Data center operators are no longer forced into costly, vendor-locked storage ecosystems. With this unified platform, they can deploy a completely hardware-neutral, ultra-dense flash pool that scales performance and capacity independently over Network/PCIe Fabrics, while fitting seamlessly into their existing automated management frameworks.”

Synergized Solutions & Core Benefits

Integrating Insyde's OpenBMC architecture into HighPoint’s high-density NVMe-oF hardware platform addresses critical operational bottlenecks in large-scale deployments:

• Uncompromised Fabric Performance via True OOB Isolation: The RocketStor 4243AS offloads storage traffic entirely to its hardware fabric engine, achieving line-rate Dual 100GbE speeds. Insyde’s OpenBMC operates on a completely independent management plane, ensuring that continuous real-time telemetry polling, asset discovery, and user authentication never interrupt or add latency to the high-speed storage network.

• Effortless Scale-Out via Network Switches: Because the RocketStor 4243AS functions as an autonomous, networked target rather than local direct-attached storage (DAS), storage expansion is as easy as connecting additional units into existing leaf-spine network switches. OpenBMC enables automated, remote provisioning of these new pools without requiring physical access or local server reboots.

• Proactive Thermal & Dynamic Cooling Defense: Operating 24 high-performance NVMe SSDs in a compact rackmount chassis generates significant heat under sustained workloads. Insyde's BMC solution continuously samples slot-level thermal sensors to dynamically adjust internal fan PWM curves, preventing NVMe thermal throttling and ensuring rock-solid IOPS consistency during massive AI and HPC ingest cycles.

Key Technical Features of Insyde’s BMC Solution

Insyde’s tailored OpenBMC solution provides the RocketStor 4243AS with a suite of enterprise features designed to optimize data center orchestration and asset security:

• Full Redfish® API Compliance provides a standardized RESTful API framework, allowing DevOps and infrastructure teams to smoothly integrate the RocketStor 4243AS into market-leading software-defined storage (SDS) platforms and private cloud operating systems, providing out-of-the-box interoperability with industry leaders.

• Hardware-Root-of-Trust (RoT) Secure Boot: Implements comprehensive cryptographic validation of BMC firmware images to shield out-of-band management interfaces from sophisticated supply-chain attacks and unauthorized local modifications.

• Slot-Level Drive Presence & Dynamic LED Drive Controls: These controls interface directly with the RocketStor 4243AS backplane via low-level management buses. They logs NVMe drive placement changes and commands the physical drive tray LEDs (fault, identify, activity), minimizing repair windows for field technicians.

• Advanced Out-of-Band Remote Access: Features a clean, intuitive web-based GUI alongside an encrypted Serial-over-LAN (SOL) console, allowing operators to safely configure low-level parameters, cycle device power, and flash firmware remotely, even if the primary 100GbE storage interfaces are down.

Market Impact and Availability

By combining HighPoint’s ultra-dense CDI hardware storage infrastructure with Insyde Software’s hardened management ecosystem, the joint solution redefines what data center architects can expect from open, disaggregated storage. The RocketStor 4243AS effectively democratizes high-performance NVMe-oF deployments, delivering a scalable, vendor-agnostic architecture that drops seamlessly into modern automated infrastructures without the burden of proprietary storage costs.

The HighPoint RocketStor 4243AS NVMe-oF target platform, fully integrated with Insyde's secure OpenBMC solution, is available for order immediately through HighPoint's global network of authorized distribution, resale and system integration partners.
