TAIPEI, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AIC will showcase its latest server and AI storage platforms this week at Supercomputing 2025 (SC25) in St. Louis, highlighting solutions for fast growing AI, HPC, and enterprise workloads. Stop by AIC’s booth (#305) to see new Gen5 systems, partner integrated solutions, and a sneak preview of AIC’s upcoming Ethernet JBOD (eBOD) platform for scalable, Ethernet attached capacity. Additionally, AIC will be featured at several partners’ booths across the show floor.

At Micron’s booth (#3516), AIC and Micron will demonstrate an ultra-dense configuration pairing the AIC F2032-01-G5 with Micron 6600 ION 245TB E3.L SSDs—supporting 140+ PB per rack to meet the data demands of modern AI and HPC.

H3 Platform will be co-exhibiting with AIC at our booth, presenting a joint GPU-accelerated AI platform built on the Falcon 6048 system. The platform combines PCIe 6.0, high-density NVMe storage, and up to 6 GPUs, DPUs, or NICs to push NVMe performance to more than 200 million IOPs and remove storage bottlenecks for AI and HPC workloads. H3 is also showcasing its Falcon C5022 CXL memory pooling solution on AIC servers, enabling up to 5.5 TB of shared memory with simple monitoring and control so data centers can scale memory capacity more efficiently. 

AIC has also teamed up with Seagate to give SC25 attendees a first look at AIC’s new Ethernet JBOD (eBOD) technology—a fresh approach to building high capacity, Ethernet attached storage for AI workloads. In this collaboration, AIC provides the Ethernet-based JBOD, Seagate supplies the high-capacity HDD. Leveraging a DPU and an HBA card, the eBOD functions as a disaggregated storage enclosure that enables NVMe-oF on SAS/SATA-based drives, especially high-capacity HDDs. Together, the design ingests data at network speed, accelerates resilient checkpoint tiers for training, and scales out over standard Ethernet—reducing data movement overhead and total cost of ownership for large AI pipelines.

“SC25 pushes AI infrastructure forward,” said Michael Liang, President & CEO of AIC. “We’re here to show real progress in storage and compute, reconnect with partners and customers, and see what’s next. I’m especially excited to see our new Ethernet-based JBOD (eBOD) running on the floor—a practical step toward simpler, faster data pipelines at scale.”

AIC will also highlight a compact integration with ATTO Technology, featuring ExpressSAS® 24Gb/s SAS HBAs linking an AIC server and an AIC JBOD for high bandwidth, low latency expansion. The setup delivers predictable latency and sustained bandwidth for scale out AI training and HPC simulation workloads on AIC platforms.

“AIC’s showcase of our ExpressSAS at SC25 highlights its unmatched role in driving performance and reliability for HPC and AI,” said Tim Klein, president and CEO of ATTO Technology. “With advanced features and technology like ADS and ATTO360 support, ExpressSAS sets the standard for storage connectivity in high-performance computing environments.”

Key AIC systems on display at SC25 include:

• F2026-01-G5 — high density storage server for AI data lakes, backup/restore, and analytics.
• SB102-CA — GPU ready platform for AI inference and media acceleration.
• SB201-SU (Hybrid) — balanced compute + capacity for virtualization and analytics.
• HA2026-HC — resilient storage for mission critical and video workloads.

Additionally, AIC will appear with our partners Solidigm, Ma Labs, and VAST Data. To experience these systems firsthand, visit AIC at booth #305 or explore AIC technology at partner booths across the show floor

KUNSHAN, China, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Arctech, a world-leading provider of solar tracking and mounting systems, made a significant impact at the Renewable Energy India Expo 2025, presenting its advanced “Tracker+” and “Green Power+” solutions. The exhibition highlighted Arctech’s formidable expertise and service capabilities as a global leader in the tracker industry, reinforcing its strong commitment to the Indian market.

As one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets, India is actively pursuing its “2070 Carbon Neutrality” goal and aims to achieve over 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, accounting for 50% of its total installed capacity. Facing the great chances, Arctech showcased its solutions tailored to address the specific needs of this dynamic market.

A key highlight was the “Tracker + Intelligent Cleaning Robot” solution. This innovative offering seamlessly integrates Arctech’s flagship 1P SkyLine II solar tracker with StarShine I, the intelligent cleaning robot, overcoming system compatibility challenges through smart, synchronized control. The solution combines the advantages of the multi-point parallel drive tracker—featuring high terrain adaptability with its “follow-the-terrain” design and precise positioning via smart AI algorithms—with the robot’s autonomous navigation, AI-powered path correction, and robust obstacle-crossing and cleaning capabilities. Together, they significantly enhance energy output, reduce operational costs, and boost the power plant’s lifetime value.

Under the “Green Power+” solution, Arctech demonstrated its Arcbank utility-scale energy storage system, which enhances system cycle efficiency and lifespan, ensuring round-the-clock revenue for PV-storage hybrid projects. Aligning with the global trend of integrated PV-storage-charging systems, the “Green Power+” solution not only ensures stable power output for solar plants but also helps address challenges such as grid instability and power supply-demand imbalances in certain regions of India, providing robust support for the country’s energy transition.

Beyond the technology, the exhibition allowed the team to deepen connections with local partners. Through one-on-one meetings and roundtable discussions, Arctech explored future collaborations, ongoing tenders and shared insights into local energy needs.

Since entering the Indian market in 2014, Arctech has successfully delivered several GW-scale benchmark projects. The company has now surpassed a remarkable 19 GW in cumulative orders in India and achieved the top spot in market shipments in 2024. Leveraging its success in India, Arctech continues to strengthen its business and service capabilities across the globe, with increasing international market share and a rising brand reputation, solidifying its position as a leading representative of high-quality “Intelligent Manufacturing from China.”

Moving forward, Arctech will remain steadfast in its customer-centric approach, combining its differentiated product solutions, reliable delivery, and profound understanding of the local market to fully support India in achieving its renewable energy targets and collectively advancing towards the vision of a “Zero-Carbon Earth.”
