22 d ago

Sugon showcased its comprehensive AI and advanced computing solutions at ISC High Performance 2026, reflecting the industry's move toward integrated computing infrastructure for AI-driven scientific research and enterprise applications. The exhibition covered AI supernodes, AI superclusters, high-performance storage, RDMA networking, liquid-cooled data center solutions, servers, workstations, and computing services, demonstrating end-to-end capabilities across computing, networking, storage, and infrastructure to support large-scale AI training, inference, scientific simulation, and data-intensive workloads. During the conference, the latest IO500 benchmark results were released. Sugon's ParaStor F9000 distributed all-flash storage system achieved first place on both the IO500 Production SC26 List and the 10 Node Production SC26 List, which rank systems deployed in real operational environments meeting additional criteria for redundancy and usage. This confirms that ParaStor F9000 delivers globally leading storage performance under actual production conditions, building on Sugon's previous IO500 success, including a first-place finish in the 10-Node Challenge at SC22. As AI adoption accelerates across research and industry, infrastructure requirements are shifting from peak hardware performance toward system-level efficiency. Organizations increasingly seek platforms that unify computing, networking, storage, and software for easier deployment, management, and scaling while supporting diverse, concurrent workloads. Founded in 1996, Sugon develops computing infrastructure including servers, storage, networking, intelligent computing systems, and data center technologies, serving enterprises, internet companies, research institutions, universities, and public-sector organizations. At ISC 2026, Sugon presented a vision of open and collaborative AI infrastructure, working with global ecosystem partners to combine technological innovation with reliable delivery and long-term service, helping customers build efficient, sustainable computing platforms for a more open, interconnected future in AI and scientific computing.
