St. Louis, USA – November 20, 2025 – H3 Platform today showcases Falcon 6048, its new PCIe 6.0 GPU-Accelerated Storage Solution, designed to deliver unprecedented bandwidth and scalability for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and large-scale data analytics workloads. Built on the latest PCIe 6.0 standard, the platform doubles interconnect bandwidth while significantly reducing latency, enabling data centers to achieve faster data movement and higher efficiency at scale.
As AI models continue to grow in size and complexity, traditional storage architectures have become a major bottleneck. H3 Platform’s PCIe 6.0 GPU-accelerated storage solution addresses this challenge with a next-generation architecture, supporting up to 44 E1.S NVMe SSDs, and up to 6 GPUs/DPUs/NICs within a single chassis—delivering a flexible, high-density foundation for the next era of data-driven innovation.
At Supercomputing ’25, Micron and H3 Platform demonstrated how GPU-initiated storage can redefine performance expectations. The H3 Platform Falcon PCIe 6.0 system with Micron® 9650 NVMe™ SSDs achieved a record 230 million 512byte random read IOPS from a single node,[1] which is a throughput level traditionally reserved for multi-rack supercomputer storage tiers. This breakthrough shows that one GPU-driven server can deliver data at HPC-class rates, enabling workloads such as vector databases, graph neural networks, and largescale inference without the bottlenecks of CPU-orchestrated I/O to provide supercomputer-class performance, condensed into a single chassis.

The launch of H3 Platform’s Falcon 6048 arrives as the industry transitions toward PCIe Gen6 interfaces across storage, compute, and networking devices.
Leading technology innovators—including Micron Technology, which recently unveiled its first PCIe Gen6 data-center SSD portfolio—are accelerating ecosystem readiness for next-generation workloads that demand higher bandwidth and lower latency. H3 Platform’s new solution is purpose-built to complement these advancements, providing an adaptable platform for enterprises preparing to scale into the Gen6 era.
“PCIe 6.0 is moving towards broad-scale adoption and driving a fundamental shift in how storage and compute architectures are designed,” said Karthik Ganesan, fellow, Storage Solutions Architecture for Micron’s Core Data Center Business Unit. “By collaborating with H3 Platform, we are delivering unprecedented IOPS from a single system. PCIe 6.0 powers next-generation AI training and inference workloads, and we’re encouraged to see innovators like H3 Platform fully leveraging Micron 9650 PCIe 6.0 SSDs to accelerate what’s possible.”
“As PCIe Gen6 becomes the foundation of next-generation infrastructure, storage performance must evolve together,” said Brian Pan, CEO of H3 Platform. “Our goal with Falcon 6048, our GPU-accelerated storage solution, is to empower the ecosystem. As ecosystem partners like Micron advance PCIe Gen6 storage technology, we’re creating the infrastructure foundation that enables their innovation to reach full potential in hyperscale AI and HPC environments.”
H3’s GPU-accelerated storage solution is purpose-built for a wide range of high-performance applications. It delivers high-throughput data pipelines for AI model training and inference, ensuring efficient GPU-accelerated learning. For large-scale analytics and data lake environments, it provides consistent, low-latency access to petabyte-scale workloads. In cloud and enterprise infrastructures, it enables modular and composable architectures that improve cost efficiency and support long-term sustainability.
