Graid Technology’s SupremeRAID™ HE Wins Special Prize at Interop Tokyo 2026 Best of Show Award

Graid Technology is proud to announce that SupremeRAID™ HE has received the Special Prize in the Server & Storage Category at the Interop Tokyo 2026 Best of Show Award.

Designed for AI and HPC infrastructure, SupremeRAID™ HE delivers high-performance, high-availability NVMe storage for mission-critical workloads. With its cross-node architecture and array migration capability, SupremeRAID™ HE enables failover between nodes without data replication, helping organizations improve usable capacity, reduce storage overhead, and lower total cost of ownership.

Unlike traditional distributed storage systems that often rely on replication or erasure coding for high availability, SupremeRAID™ HE is built to maintain both performance and resilience. Its GPU-based RAID architecture offloads storage processing from the CPU, enabling near-native NVMe SSD performance while helping eliminate I/O bottlenecks in AI training clusters, HPC environments, and large-scale data processing systems.

SupremeRAID™ HE also supports mainstream parallel and distributed file systems, including BeeGFS, Lustre, and Ceph, making it well suited for multi-node storage clusters, Storage Bridge Bay server deployments, and enterprise data center environments that require both high bandwidth and continuous service availability.

This recognition from Interop Tokyo highlights Graid Technology’s continued innovation in redefining storage architecture for the AI and HPC era, where performance, efficiency, and service continuity are all essential.

Key Applications

  • AI and large language model training clusters
  • High-performance computing environments
  • Enterprise data centers and mission-critical systems
  • Distributed storage and parallel file system deployments

Graid Technology has achieved an industry-first benchmark: 100 million IOPS on a protected RAID 5 volume for GPU-initiated I/O, built from 32 KIOXIA XD8 NVMe SSDs. The result shows that resilient NVMe storage can now operate at the scale that current and future AI deployments require, which is especially significant for environments that require both extreme performance and enterprise-class data protection. In benchmark testing with a WholeGraph training workload, [...]
Every NVMe array pays a hidden storage tax — either 12–18% of line rate lost to a hardware RAID controller, or 18–28% of host CPU consumed by software RAID. With enterprise NVMe pricing up ~257% since Q2 2025, that tax now hits a much bigger check. SupremeRAID™ eliminates both halves by running RAID I/O on an NVIDIA GPU: full line-rate throughput, CPU cores returned to your applications, enterprise-grade protection on one card.
Graid Technology is excited to join the AI Powered Data Centre Conference 2026 as a Silver Partner in Mumbai, India. As AI workloads continue to drive new demands on data centre infrastructure, we will showcase how SupremeRAID™ GPU-accelerated NVMe RAID helps reduce storage bottlenecks, improve data protection, and enable higher performance for AI, HPC, and next-generation data centres.
