AIC and Industry Giants Intel and Micron Unveil Groundbreaking CXL Storage Solution

AIC and the New Era of Storage Solutions

AIC Inc., a prominent player in server and storage solutions, has taken a significant leap forward in data center technology with the launch of its latest 2U storage server platform, the SB201-SU. Announced recently at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center during COMPUTEX 2025, this innovative server is powered by Intel® Xeon® 6 processors and incorporates the Micron CZ122 memory expansion module, which is compliant with the transformative Compute Express Link® (CXL) standard.

An Innovative Collaboration

This collaboration between AIC, Intel, and Micron highlights the industry's shift towards architectures that can effectively handle the increasing demands of AI, big data, and high-performance computing (HPC). Enterprises are challenged more than ever to upgrade their memory and storage capabilities to keep pace with rapid technological advancements. The integration of CXL technology into the SB201-SU platform signifies AIC's commitment to providing reliable and high-performance solutions tailored to modern data center needs.

Features of the SB201-SU Storage Server

The SB201-SU is designed to address the limitations commonly experienced with traditional storage architectures. With support for CXL 2.0, it enables high-density storage capabilities alongside flexible memory expansion. This combination offers a robust foundation for various demanding applications, including AI training, inference, massive database management, and intricate financial modeling.

Allen Tsai, the Senior Enterprise Server Product Manager at AIC Inc., emphasized the importance of flexible architectures in today’s data-intensive world. He noted, "With the explosive growth of AI and data-intensive applications, enterprises now require even more flexible and high-performance compute and memory architectures. AIC has made continuous investments in developing hardware platforms that support advanced memory technologies.”

The Micron CZ122 Memory Expansion Module

A pivotal feature of this partnership is the Micron CZ122 memory expansion module, which claims the title of the first product fully compliant with the CXL 2.0 standard. This module offers significant enhancements in server performance and operational efficiency for AI workloads and other demanding applications. By enabling data centers to scale memory capacity dynamically, the CZ122 helps mitigate workload constraints while simultaneously lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).

Vishal Tanna from Micron Technology noted the importance of CXL technology in modern memory architecture, stating, "CXL is a transformative technology for memory architectures in modern data centers. Our collaboration with AIC accelerates the evolution of CXL from concept to practical, deployable solutions, significantly enhancing memory performance and scalability for data center customers."

A New Paradigm in Data Center Solutions

The SB201-SU is equipped to support high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission, facilitating outstanding performance for both storage and computational functions throughout the system. Anil Godbole, Intel’s Data Center Technology Marketing Manager, remarked on the collaborative efforts that have brought transformative technologies into reality for customers. He said, "CXL technology introduces a fundamental shift in data center architecture, showcasing how we are moving from a theoretical standard to high-performance solutions powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors."

Showcasing Innovation at COMPUTEX

AIC further invites industry stakeholders to explore the SB201-SU platform and its capabilities in person at Booth M1119a, 4F, during COMPUTEX 2025 from May 20 to 23. The platform is currently available for testing and offers technical support for customers globally. As a global leader with nearly three decades of experience, AIC is dedicated to driving innovation across various industries, and the SB201-SU storage server is a testament to its commitment to excellence in performance and technological advancement.
