Dell has qualified KIOXIA’s 245.76TB NVMe SSDs for software-defined ObjectScale, putting 9.83PB of raw flash in a single 2U server. The density milestone lands on top of the data-path work Dell detailed earlier this year across ObjectScale 4.2 and 4.3, which targets high-throughput AI training, small-object pipeline efficiency, and inference acceleration through native S3 over
NVIDIA has moved Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics, its co-packaged optics (CPO) Ethernet switch platform, into full production. The company puts the gains at 4x fewer lasers, 5x lower power consumption, and 10x higher mean time between incidents, and it named the five manufacturing partners building the switch at each stage of the supply chain. The milestone
NVIDIA has transitioned its 800-VDC power architecture from a forward-looking design concept into an active production roadmap. The initial MGX-compatible 800-VDC power rack is scheduled to enter production in the second half of 2026, delivering high-voltage direct current to AI compute racks while the broader data center facility continues operating on existing alternating current distribution.
The Dell Pro Precision 7 16 is the higher-end 16-inch mobile workstation in Dell’s current Pro Precision lineup. Our review unit is built around significantly more GPU power than the 5 16s Intel tested alongside it. It pairs a Series 3 Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, a 16-core Panther Lake processor with a 50 TOPS
The Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD is the Ryzen half of Dell’s newest 14-inch mobile workstation. Our review unit runs the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475, a 12-core, 24-thread processor with a 60 TOPS NPU, alongside Radeon 890M integrated graphics, 64GB of LPDDR5x memory, a 1TB Gen4 SSD, and a 14-inch QHD+ display
RAVEL and Strata Expanse have named RT-One as the first commercial customer of the AMPHIX AI Infrastructure Platform, a deployment model designed to validate enterprise AI infrastructure before permanent production sites are completed. What AMPHIX Is AMPHIX combines site-ready land, resilient power, cybersecure edge networking, certified compute stacks, and orchestration software. Its production-grade Centers of
At FMS 2026, Silicon Motion introduced the MonTitan SSD Reference Design Kit (RDK), a platform built around the company’s next-generation PerformaShape technology. The design targets Agentic AI infrastructure, where enterprise SSDs can provide a persistent memory layer for KV cache offload and autonomous AI agents. Agentic AI workloads place different demands on storage than conventional
In late July, Liqid unveiled a scale-up AI platform built around AMD Instinct MI350P PCIe GPUs. The UltraStack 30 pairs Liqid’s composable GPU pooling technology with AMD accelerators to address enterprise and cloud AI inference deployments that need to scale beyond the accelerator count and memory capacity of conventional servers. UltraStack 30: Pooling 30 AMD
When we reviewed the NVIDIA DGX Spark, storage was the platform’s clearest design flaw, and it is a form-factor problem before it is anything else. The Spark’s internal slots take short M.2 drives, the 2230 and 2242 class, where packaging wins, and capacity loses. The high-capacity end of the client SSD market lives in full-size
DapuStor used FMS 2026 to show what it calls an industry-first 512TB SSD: a new top capacity for the R6060 PCIe 5.0 QLC line that doubles the company’s previous 245TB design and puts a full petabyte of flash in just two drives. The drive was demonstrated on the show floor through a performance test video,
