San Jose, USA March 16, 2026 H3 Platform and AIC Inc. will jointly showcase the next-generation GPU-accelerated memory/storage platform, Falcon 6048, at NVIDIA GTC 2026.

Falcon 6048 is a PCIe Gen6-based GPU-accelerated memory/storage server engineered to meet the growing demands of AI-native data centers. The system supports up to 44 E1.S NVMe SSDs and accommodates 2 GPUs and up to 4 NICs within a single high-density chassis, delivering massive parallel throughput and ultra-low latency connectivity for data-intensive environments.

Designed for modern generative AI and HPC workloads, Falcon 6048 significantly enhances storage performance by offloading data processing tasks to GPUs. By leveraging direct GPU acceleration across NVMe SSDs, the platform achieves more than 200 million IOPS—up to 10× higher performance compared to traditional CPU-centric storage architectures. This architecture eliminates I/O bottlenecks, maximizes GPU utilization, and enables faster model training and inference at scale.

In addition to large language model training and generative AI workloads, Falcon 6048 is particularly well-suited for Graph Neural Network (GNN) and vector database applications. These workloads are inherently data-intensive, requiring high random I/O performance, rapid vector similarity search, and frequent graph traversal across massive datasets. The GPU-accelerated storage architecture enables:

  • High-throughput vector indexing and similarity search
  • Low-latency graph traversal for GNN training and inference
  • Efficient handling of dynamic, large-scale embeddings
  • Scalable storage performance aligned with GPU compute capacity

By tightly coupling GPU compute and high-speed NVMe storage over PCIe Gen6 fabric, Falcon 6048 provides an optimized infrastructure foundation for next-generation AI applications, including vector search engines, recommendation systems, knowledge graphs, and large-scale graph analytics.

“We are excited to collaborate with H3 Platform to demonstrate Falcon 6048 at NVIDIA GTC 2026,” said Michael Liang, CEO and President of AIC. “AIC has long been committed to delivering high-performance, enterprise-class server platforms, and Falcon 6048 reflects the strength of our system design and manufacturing expertise. By combining AIC’s advanced hardware architecture with H3 Platform’s innovative PCIe Gen6 switching and GPU-accelerated storage technologies, this collaboration enables a new class of infrastructure optimized for the rapidly evolving demands of generative AI workloads. We look forward to continuing our partnership with H3 Platform to accelerate the development of next-generation AI data center solutions.”

“We are proud to collaborate with AIC in bringing Falcon 6048 to NVIDIA GTC 2026,” said Brian Pan, CEO of H3 Platform. “By combining H3’s PCIe Gen6 switching and GPU-accelerated memory/storage architecture with AIC’s expertise in high-density system design and manufacturing, we are delivering a platform built for AI-native infrastructure. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to enabling next-generation data centers with scalable, high-performance solutions. We will continue to innovate and drive future advancements in GPU-accelerated storage and composable architectures for the AI industry.”

H3 Platform and AIC will showcase Falcon 6048 alongside other latest storage innovations at NVIDIA GTC 2026, taking place March 16–19, 2026, in San Jose, California. Visit Booth #140 at the San Jose Convention Center to experience live demonstrations and witness how Falcon 6048 is the game changer in AI storage.
