AIC to Showcase AI Storage Platforms for Scalable Inference at NVIDIA GTC 2026

AIC, a renowned globally-recognized provider of enterprise storage and server solutions, is set to attend the NVIDIA GTC 2026 event from March 16-19 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. This prominent event promises to highlight AIC's latest advancements in AI storage technology tailored for CMX-aligned architectures, enabling shared NVMe tiers designed to enhance large-scale inference operations. Located at booth #140, AIC will present its groundbreaking AI storage platforms that are critical for handling modern workloads that require substantial GPU memory.

In the fast-evolving landscape of AI, the need for high-density and low-latency storage is paramount for effective KV cache support, vector databases, and uninterrupted data streams. AIC’s innovative NVMe and DPU-enabled platforms provide the necessary flash storage capacity and bandwidth, ensuring that GPUs receive consistent data supply across extensive rack-scale deployments. AIC plans to exhibit system designs that facilitate GPU-initiated storage access models, thus enabling direct data delivery from NVMe to accelerated compute units. This approach effectively reduces CPU overhead and enhances input/output efficiency, especially for data-heavy tasks.

Featured Innovations at AIC’s Booth #140

Several cutting-edge products will be showcased:

1. F2026-G5 JBOF with BlueField Integration: This high-density, DPU-accelerated NVMe platform underlines scalability in shared flash tiers, paving the way for large-scale AI inference deployments by utilizing NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) architectures.

2. CMX 2U 24-Bay Bluefield DPU Solution: A compact platform outfitted with Solidigm PCIe Gen5 enterprise NVMe SSDs and powered by NVIDIA's BlueField DPU. This combination accelerates KV cache access, facilitating more efficient and higher-performance AI inference tasks while optimizing for high-capacity flash configurations.

3. 3U SCADA-Optimized System: Specifically tailored to support GPU-centric storage access models that accelerate data delivery for intensive AI tasks like vector searches and graph processing.

4. VAST Data CERES Platform: A system that supports high-throughput NVMe storage, crucial for AI data pipelines, real-time analytics, and retrieval-augmented generation.

Collaborations and Showcase

In addition to the innovative systems at AIC's booth, attendees will spot the AIC F2032 platform at Micron Technology’s booth (#1407), demonstrating AIC's continued collaboration with leading flash memory vendors to create scalable NVMe frameworks aimed at cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

Greg Matson, Senior Vice President of Products and Marketing at Solidigm, emphasized the role of Solidigm's eSSDs in powering the next iterations of AI infrastructure. They deliver the required performance, density, and efficiency crucial for developing new inference-centric architectures.

Michael Liang, AIC's President and CEO, commented on the pressing need for evolving storage architectures in tandem with rapid advancements in AI infrastructure. He highlighted AIC's ongoing collaborations with NVIDIA and ecosystem partners to create NVMe platforms that are aligned with modern architectural needs for GPU-driven AI workflows. Liang stated, 'As AI systems are moving towards multi-agent and large-context applications, scalable and disaggregated storage is essential in shaping future architectures. Our commitment focuses on developing the storage solutions critical for the next generation of AI.'
