MaxLinear (NASDAQ: MXL) announced that Japan-based Core Micro Systems (CMS) has adopted the MaxLinear Panther (Panther V) platform as the foundation for its next-generation storage infrastructure and is integrating the Panther Storage Accelerator with ZFlush™ hardware-accelerated OpenZFS for AI, cloud, hyperscale, and enterprise environments.
According to MaxLinear, the combined solution accelerates OpenZFS data services such as compression, encryption, and deduplication, improving throughput, latency, and CPU utilization, which can lower infrastructure CAPEX and OPEX. CMS plans to deploy Panther-based storage solutions across Asia, targeting the growing APAC data center storage market, which is forecast to approach $25 billion by 2030.
Everspin Technologies (NASDAQ: MRAM) and MaxLinear (NASDAQ: MXL) signed a memorandum of understanding to evaluate next-generation memory architectures for AI servers. The collaboration will combine Everspin’s persistent, low-latency MRAM with MaxLinear’s storage compression, encryption and hardware acceleration platform to address growing AI model and inference workloads.
The work will target metadata management, log data, write buffering and cache functions to enhance responsiveness, reliability and data persistence in server architectures. According to the companies, the MOU also covers technical validation, joint market development for hyperscale and enterprise customers, and exploration of long-term manufacturing, supply and commercialization opportunities.
MaxLinear (NASDAQ:MXL) will showcase its Panther Storage Accelerator at Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) 2026, held August 4–6 in Santa Clara, California. Panther is designed to improve AI storage efficiency and AI inference performance through hardware‑accelerated data services.
According to MaxLinear, Panther delivers up to a 3× compression ratio on AI data, enabling up to 2.2× greater effective KV cache capacity and support for up to 2.2× more AI agents on existing infrastructure. FMS demonstrations will cover AI workload compression, peer‑to‑peer DMA for PCIe endpoint‑to‑endpoint data movement, OpenZFS acceleration via ZIA/DPUSM frameworks, and SPDK compression offload. MaxLinear states Panther can enable up to 2.5× greater effective storage capacity for AI data while freeing CPU resources for higher‑value workloads across enterprise, cloud, hyperscale, and HPC environments. Attendees can visit MaxLinear at Booth #513.
