AIC to Showcase Innovative AI Storage Solutions at FMS 2026

AIC, renowned for its enterprise storage and server solutions, is gearing up for a significant presence at the Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) 2026, taking place from August 4 to 6 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Booth #419. This year, AIC will highlight the pivotal storage platforms that are essential for the latest advancements in AI infrastructure, specifically focusing on context memory — a critical flash layer designed to store precomputed model contexts.

As the landscape of AI workloads expands, the memory hierarchy is evolving dramatically. The introduction of Key Value (KV) caches, which hold the precomputed context for AI responses, has exceeded the capabilities of traditional GPU memory. As a result, system operators are opting to retrieve this data from shared NVMe flash storage instead of recalculating it on GPUs. At FMS 2026, AIC plans to display deployable hardware specifically designed to support this new memory tier, known as Ethernet-attached shared flash, which functions between GPU memory and standard storage solutions.

FMS 2026 Showcase of AIC’s Offerings

AIC's offerings at this year's exhibition will include a diverse array of high-performance storage systems tailored to meet the unique demands of modern AI applications. Key products on display comprise:

• - F2032-G6: A 2U dual-active flash storage system optimized for context memory. Its architecture features PCIe Gen6 technology, ensuring rapid data access and recovery by utilizing a dual-port backplane and DPU-accelerated NVMe-over-Fabrics.
• - F2026-01-G5: This 2U PCIe Gen5 JBOF is equipped with dual-port NVMe and supports multiple Data Processing Units (DPUs). It is tailored for disaggregated flash serving to GPU clusters via NVMe-over-Fabrics.
• - HA2026-HC: A high-availability storage solution designed specifically for mission-critical applications that cannot afford downtime during rebuild processes.
• - SB201-SU: An all-flash NVMe server featuring dual Intel Xeon processors, optimized for AI data ingestion and processing.
• - J4078-02-04X: A 4U high-density SAS JBOD system designed for backup, archiving, and supporting data lakes behind the faster flash layer.

Collaborative Efforts Across FMS 2026

AIC’s systems will not only be presented at their booth but will also be featured at various partner exhibits throughout the show. The AIC F2032-G6 will be displayed at Micron’s Booth #107, with ScaleFlux presenting the AIC F2026-01-G5 at Booth #519. Additionally, AIC systems will be showcased at the Silicon Motion Booth #315.

An exciting collaboration will occur within AIC's Booth #419, where H3 Platform, a leader in PCIe and composable infrastructure solutions, will exhibit a GPU-accelerated memory and storage system jointly developed with AIC. This innovative solution combines H3’s software-defined PCIe fabric orchestration with high-density NVMe technology to optimize data proximity to GPUs.

AIC's commitment to collaborating with prominent entities in the storage and AI sectors—such as NVIDIA, Micron, and ScaleFlux—ensures that they remain at the forefront of technology designed for future AI workloads. With a legacy of over 30 years in the industry, AIC is poised for growth in this rapidly evolving domain.

Insights from AIC Leadership

Michael Liang, President and CEO of AIC, expressed enthusiasm for attending the FMS, noting, "AI storage is a pivotal focus for AIC, and FMS provides an excellent platform for us to introduce our advancements to meet the increasing demands of AI workloads."

CT Sun, Chief Technology Officer at AIC, highlighted, "In inference clusters, maintaining KV cache is essential. Our systems tackle the challenge of efficiently retaining this context on shared flash, ensuring its availability during failures. Efficiently managing this tier will facilitate the scaling of inference operations, which is our primary design goal."

AIC warmly invites attendees of FMS 2026 to visit Booth #419 to experience firsthand the latest innovations in AI storage solutions. Interested parties can schedule meetings with AIC experts during the event by contacting [email protected].
