Dell HPC: Using GPU Accelerated RAID to Maximize the Performance and Usable Capacity of NVMe Flash

Watch now! Learn how SupremeRAID™ enhances the performance of BeeGFS, a parallel file system, developed and optimized for high-performance computing (HPC).   You will see how Graid’s partnership with Thinkparq and Dell demonstrates that you can provide RAID protection for scratch storage without impacting performance.

SupremeRAID™ is a software-defined solution deployed on a GPU for maximum SSD performance without consuming CPU cycles. Unlike traditional RAID, which bottlenecks performance and reduces ROI on NVMe SSD spend, SupremeRAID™ employs unique out of path RAID technology, so data travels directly from CPU to storage to deliver maximum SSD performance, comprehensive data protection, and unmatched flexibility.

Using SupremeRAID™ avoids the inherent performance limitations in other RAID products, including ASIC-based hardware RAID and CPU-based software RAID.  Avoid costly overhead incurred when using RAID 10:  SupremeRAID™ can provide 50% to 80% more usable capacity by utilizing RAID 5 or 6, and yet still provide greater performance than Software Raid 10.
