As AI, big data, and high-performance computing (HPC) continue to evolve at a rapid pace, enterprises are facing unprecedented challenges in memory and storage capabilities. AIC’s SB201-SU platform, architected with CXL 2.0 support, combines high-density storage with flexible memory expansion to address the limitations of traditional architectures. It provides a reliable and adaptable compute foundation for AI inference, training, large-scale databases, and financial modeling, ensuring peak performance across demanding workloads.

Allen Tsai, Senior Enterprise Server Product Manager, AIC Inc., commented: “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. This collaboration with Micron and Intel is a significant step forward in realizing high-performance computing infrastructures that meet these evolving demands.”

A standout feature of this collaboration is the Micron CZ122 memory expansion module, the industry’s first product compliant with the CXL 2.0 standard. The CZ122 provides data centers with highly flexible memory capacity expansion, enabling an impressive improvement in server performance for AI workloads and other data-intensive applications. This innovation helps to meet workload demands and reduces total cost of ownership (TCO).

“CXL is a transformative technology for memory architectures in modern data centers,” said Vishal Tanna, director of CXL Systems and Software Engineering at Micron Technology. “The CZ122 is designed to address the growing challenges of memory bottlenecks in AI and data-intensive compute platforms. Our collaboration with AIC is accelerating the evolution of CXL from concept to practical, deployable solutions that significantly enhance memory performance and scalability for data center customers, unleashing the full potential of their platforms.”

The SB201-SU platform, powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, supports the CXL 2.0 standard to deliver high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission, ensuring outstanding performance for both storage and compute tasks across the system.

Anil Godbole, Data Center Technology Marketing Manager, Intel, commented: “CXL technology introduces a fundamental shift in data center architecture. Our collaboration with AIC and Micron showcases how CXL is moving from a theoretical standard to real-world, high-performance solutions, powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors. Together we are delivering unprecedented benefits for AI, HPC, and cloud workloads.”

AIC will showcase the SB201-SU platform and its integrated solution at Booth M1119a, 4F, at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center during COMPUTEX 2025, from May 20 to 23, 2025. The SB201-SU platform is now available for testing and technical support to customers globally.
