ATTO Technology to Demonstrate Pre-Release SiliconDisk DRAM Storage at SC26

ATTO Technology will demonstrate its pre-release SiliconDisk storage platform at SC26, the company said in a November 13 announcement. The DRAM-based appliance offers sub-600ns latency over four 100GbE ports and presents to hosts as a local disk drive. ATTO Technology announced the demonstration through EIN Presswire.

SiliconDisk's Ethernet-Connected DRAM Architecture

SiliconDisk is an Ethernet-connected, DRAM-based storage appliance designed to provide a shared, high-performance storage tier for latency-sensitive and data-intensive environments. The appliance presents performance-critical working data through a standard NVMe over Fabrics block-storage interface, allowing multiple compute nodes to access a shared, ultra-low-latency storage resource.

The pre-release platform features four 100GbE Ethernet ports, up to 35GB/s sustained aggregate bandwidth and up to 6.4 million 4K IOPS. Built around ATTO xCORE technology, SiliconDisk is designed to deliver predictable access latency of less than 600 nanoseconds while extending high-performance storage across the network fabric.

SiliconDisk is designed for AI and machine learning, high-performance databases, imaging and rendering, real-time processing, server clusters and distributed compute environments. It supports both direct-attached and fabric-attached configurations. The platform incorporates ATTO Infinite Write Endurance, which the company says eliminates the media wear associated with flash-based storage, and ATTO Insight Analytics for embedded performance and configuration intelligence. SiliconDisk can also provide zero data persistence for workloads where data does not need to survive power loss, with optional persistence architectures available when required.

"High-performance compute environments have traditionally had to make compromises between speed, shareability and simplicity," said Tim Klein, president and CEO of ATTO Technology. "We started with a straightforward challenge: make it fast, make it shareable and make it easy to use. SiliconDisk brings together DRAM-based storage, high-speed Ethernet connectivity and standard block-storage access in a way that creates a new option for architects designing demanding infrastructure."

ATTO's Recent Product and Partnership Moves

ATTO Technology, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Amherst, has introduced several products in 2026, according to akta.pro company records. In April, it launched FastFrame AIR Ethernet NICs with an integrated precision blower delivering a 32°C thermal headroom reduction and ultra-low-latency RDMA for airflow-constrained workstation and edge AI deployments. That same month, ATTO introduced XstreamCORE Ethernet Intelligent Bridges that expose SAS storage over Ethernet, extending the XstreamCORE line beyond Fibre Channel into IP-native and tape-archival workflows. ATTO also partnered with Facilis Technology in April to deliver certified Thunderbolt 5 connectivity for Facilis HUB 8.4 shared storage, targeting 8K media production environments.

How SiliconDisk Compares With Recent Storage Launches

Dell Technologies and KIOXIA announced a 157 PB object storage solution in a single 42U rack on November 11, using 640 KIOXIA LC9 Series 245.76 TB SSDs, Business Wire Blog reported. Nexsan announced the Unity NV12000 on November 10, a unified storage platform delivering nearly 3PB of raw flash in a 2U unit and scaling to about 15PB with the U2F226 expansion enclosure, FinancialContent Business Page reported.
