AIC to Launch New SAS4 JBOD Family at SC24

ATLANTA, November 19, 2024 (Newswire.com) - AIC Inc., a leading provider of enterprise storage and server solutions, today announced its introducing a new product family of 24Gb/s SAS4 JBODs at Supercomputing 2024 (SC24), held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, from November 18^th to 21^st.

The new AIC SAS4 JBODs utilize Broadcom SAS4x expanders, delivering best-in-class performance and the latest advancements in SAS technology. They are equipped with dual hub expander modules, providing dual-path redundancy for both host and expansion links. With superior data throughput, these JBODs are optimized for scale-up, cloud backup, and AI workloads that require efficient data staging, real-time processing, and extensive data archiving.

The Broadcom SAS4x24 expander is a key driver of the doubled I/O performance in AICs new JBODs. By maximizing the available throughput to the host, the SAS4x expander leverages next generation SAS-4 technology to provide high device throughput support up to 24Gb/s, effectively doubling bandwidth compared to previous 12Gb/s expanders. The Broadcom SAS4x24 expander features a new design that enhances security, boosts performance, and reduces latency, making AIC new JBODs ideal for high-performance, data-driven applications.

Highlights of the SAS4 JBOD Product Family:

1. 24Gb/s SAS Technology: Doubles the bandwidth of previous generations, delivering faster data transfer rates for high-performance storage applications.
2. Dual-Path Redundancy: Provides enhanced reliability and seamless failover with dual hub expanders, ensuring high availability in mission-critical environments.
3. Flexible Storage Configurations: Offered in 4U 108-bay, 4U 78-bay, and 2U 24-bay models, supporting both SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs for a wide range of enterprise and data-intensive applications. 

“As data demands continue to grow in AI-driven environments, robust and scalable storage solutions are essential," said Michael Liang, President and CEO of AIC. “By collaborating with Broadcom, we’ve developed SAS4 JBOD series to deliver the performance and reliability required to support high-throughput, complex workloads in enterprise, cloud, and AI environments.”
