AIC

What AIC does

AIC Inc. is a Taiwan-incorporated, privately held provider of OEM/ODM and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server and storage infrastructure, founded in 1996 and operating with 501–1,000 employees. The company's portfolio centers on AI-native storage and GPU-optimized server platforms for HPC, AI training, inference, and data-intensive workloads, with flagship hardware including the F2032-G6 JBOF (integrating up to four NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs at 800 Gb/s with up to 8 PB of flash capacity in a 2U chassis) and all-flash NVMe storage appliances. It also offers edge computing systems (EB202-CP, RMC-2MS) and security-focused infrastructure (TB116 with Qrypt quantum entropy encryption, F2026-01-G5) targeting AI-driven surveillance and FIPS-compliant deployments.

AIC's business model is hardware sales through direct enterprise field engagement, with demand generation heavily concentrated at major global technology conferences — ISC High Performance, COMPUTEX, NAB Show, RSA Conference, CloudFest, and NVIDIA GTC — where the company hosts executive panels alongside NVIDIA and VAST Data. Customers span a horizontal set of segments: large enterprises, research institutions, cloud providers, media production organizations, and cybersecurity/surveillance operators. Strategic ecosystem positioning is the central commercial lever: AIC is a designated NVIDIA BlueField-4 STX ecosystem partner, a disclosed participant in AMD's $10B Taiwan ecosystem, and is integrated with VAST Data, Solidigm, Micron, ScaleFlux, Broadcom, and Phison. The company is also pursuing geographic expansion through a $2.1 billion AI data center joint venture with KBC in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the firm remains privately held with no reported revenue figures.
