MaxLinear, Inc., a leading provider of advanced storage acceleration solutions, has announced the launch of its next-generation Panther V storage accelerator. The company will unveil this breakthrough technology at the upcoming Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) 2025 event, taking place August 5–7 in Santa Clara, California.

Panther V introduces a significant leap forward in storage acceleration, offering up to 450Gbps throughput, ultra-low latency, and a 12:1 data reduction ratio. It supports a PCIe Gen5 x16 interface, making it highly compatible with the newest high-performance server platforms. Engineered for the evolving needs of enterprise and hyperscale data centers, Panther V delivers major improvements in speed, efficiency, and scalability.

A Powerful Evolution of Panther III

Building on the legacy of Panther III, the new Panther V more than doubles throughput performance. It is designed to offload compute-intensive data services—such as compression, encryption, deduplication, and real-time data verification—from host CPUs to dedicated hardware, optimizing overall system performance and reducing both capital and operational costs.

“Panther V addresses the core challenges faced by today’s data centers: maximizing performance while keeping energy use and infrastructure costs in check,” said Vikas Choudhary, Vice President of MaxLinear’s Connectivity and Storage business. “With Panther V, our customers gain the ability to scale their operations intelligently and sustainably.”

Built for Scale and Performance

Panther V is optimized for diverse data center architectures—from hyperscale and hyperconverged environments to edge computing and cloud platforms. Its modular and scalable design supports multi-card configurations, reaching performance levels of over 3.2Tbps, preparing organizations for next-generation data demands.

Live Demonstrations at FMS 2025

During the FMS 2025 conference, MaxLinear will conduct two live demonstrations to showcase the capabilities of Panther V:

PantherDirect™ Peer-to-Peer DMA Showcase
This demonstration will highlight how Panther V enables Peer-to-Peer Direct Memory Access (P2PDMA), allowing direct transfers between storage devices and network cards without host memory involvement. Utilizing Panther V’s internal DMA engine and on-chip SRAM, the solution dramatically lowers memory bandwidth congestion and enhances system responsiveness.

Performance Comparison Against Software-Based Solutions

A second demo will present a direct performance comparison between Panther V and a typical software-only storage solution, evaluating key factors like:

  • Data Throughput
  • CPU Usage
  • System Latency
  • Compression Ratio
  • Memory Bandwidth Utilization
  • Power Efficiency
