This article examines Phison's AiDAPTIV technology for allowing sophisticated and accurate AI inference on common on-premise hardware, using inference context aware memory storage, like Nvidia discussed at the 2026 CES show. It also includes information about New Cloud Dynamics Neo One personal networked encrypted storage device that provides a private secure storage network with data replication between connected Neo One's.
Phison introduced its aiDAPTIV technology in 2023 to enable SSD-centric AI acceleration. At the 2026 CES Phison presented over a dozen aiDAPTIV edge inference concept demos on popular notebook and mini-PC platforms. Phison says that this technology provides inference context memory storage, promoted by Nvidia at the 2026 CES, to the edge, such as for individual workers using local hardware. The image below from the 2026 CES shows some of these concept demos. Phison is delivering aiDAPTIV technology with its Pascari SSDs.
Phison's aiDAPTIV is a hybrid hardware and software platform that offloads memory demands from DRAM and GPU VRAM to high-speed flash-based cache. This enables systems with limited onboard memory to handle significantly larger models.
As a consequence, users can train and run large-scale AI models on standard, affordable hardware -- such as consumer PCs, workstations, and edge devices rather than more expensive and less private cloud-based data center infrastructure. It works by using ultra-fast, high-endurance NAND flash memory (via aiDAPTIVCache SSDs) to extend GPU virtual RAM, or VRAM, effectively removing the memory bottlenecks that typically limit local AI performance.
AiDAPTIV speeds up inference by caching tokens, reducing the need for recalculation. It supports training and fine-tuning for complex models on-premise. This enables users and organizations to fine-tune and run AI models on their own private datasets without sending sensitive information to public cloud services.
The aiDAPTIV Pro Suite is a software package that provides a GUI-based, end-to-end environment for data ingestion, fine-tuning, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and monitoring, requiring less specialized IT expertise.
A company based out of Australia, called New Cloud Dynamics introduced a mobile storage device called Neo One that connects to the Internet and which allows encrypted communication with other Neo One's to create a distributed private cloud network.
The system allows data to be securely stored and retrieved by a user, even if their Neo One is lost or destroyed. It also allows for ultra-secure encrypted communication between the networked devices, including messaging and collaboration on documents or files.
A Neo One storage device connects to common computers, tablets and phones running popular operating systems using common USB-C cables. The company points out that such an encrypted distributed private storage network provides private and secure storage that prevents common hacking attacks while providing data replication across the private storage network.
Phison's aiDAPTIV hardware/software solution running on its Pascari SSDs brings inference context aware storage on-premise. New Cloud Dynamics Neo One personal network storage device provides a secure private storage network with data replication.
