2nd Generation Feature Set
High-Performance PCIe Gen4 Switch Architecture
HighPoint's High-Performance PCIe Gen4 switching architecture integrates Broadcom’s 48-Channel PEX88048 switch IC to provide x16 lanes of dedicated PCIe Gen4 upstream bandwidth and x4 lanes of dedicated downstream bandwidth to each device channel. The innovative architecture enables the Rocket 752x Series AIC or Adapter to deliver up to 32GB/s of transfer bandwidth, minimize latency, and facilitate consistent, robust I/O throughput.
The Architecture employs a technique known as a “Synthetic Hierarchy” to isolate the host system’s OS from any PCIe topology changes. This enables the AIC or Adapter to directly manage resource allocation to the downstream PCIe channels by facilitating a more efficient interaction between the host CPU and PCIe switch.
Comprehensive Storage Health Monitoring & Management Suite
The Rocket 752x series NVMe RAID AICs & Adapters are equipped with HighPoint’s intuitive yet comprehensive monitoring, management suite, which enables administrators to easily configure and maintain the platform’s NVMe storage ecosystem with a few simple clicks and commands.
SSDs and RAID 0, 1 and 10 arrays created and managed using these interfaces will be recognized as single, physical disks by the host platform, and can be used to install a bootable OS.
Engineered to Enhance the Efficiency & Serviceability of Datacenter & Server Applications
Rocket 752x series NVMe RAID AICs and Adapters incorporate a wide range of features designed to enhance the efficiency of day-to-day operations of datacenter and Edge Server platforms. First and foremost, the adapter has been built to the highest standards of quality and reliability, and is fully compliant with PCIe Card Electromechanical (CEM) specifications. The AICs & Adapters are field replaceable units (FRU); the VPD (vital product data) stored on each product enables customers and service providers to easily procure replacements with the correct firmware/driver combination.
The integrated OOB (out-of-band) management capability is an essential component of professional server infrastructure. MBC & MCTP over PCIe enables an administrator to securely interface with the adapter without the need for internet access. The service is scalable and can be used to administrate multiple servers via Linux command prompts to manage storage in both Pre-OS and OS-level environments.
