Deployment Context

Where this platform fits.

Review positioning, capability notes, and deployment guidance for this xSONiC platform.

Product Positioning

XS-SSD-8118Z-AIC extends the xSONiC NVMe SSD family into PCIe add-in-card deployments. It is intended for servers, workstations, and acceleration nodes that need high-performance storage through available PCIe slots.

Core Capabilities

  • AIC form factor for PCIe slot installation.
  • PCIe Gen4 x4 and NVMe 1.4 for high-throughput local storage.
  • Up to 7.0 GB/s sequential read and 1,000K random read IOPS.
  • Capacity options from 2TB to 8TB.
  • Larger add-in-card thermal surface for sustained workloads.

Technical Notes

The AIC model is a fit for systems where cable-free PCIe slot storage is preferred over drive-bay installation. It can help accelerate compute-heavy applications, virtualization, data analytics, and AI/HPC workloads where local NVMe bandwidth is a bottleneck.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

  • PCIe slot-based server storage expansion.
  • High-end workstations and engineering systems.
  • HPC and AI local storage acceleration.
  • Finance, telecom, and high-throughput enterprise workloads.

Typical deployment scenarios

  • Server storage upgrades through PCIe add-in-card slots.
  • High-end workstation storage acceleration.
  • HPC, AI, and big data processing nodes.
  • Financial and telecom infrastructure requiring high throughput storage.
