NEWS: CRN Features Graid Technology "10 Storage Products That Are Tearing Up The Rule Book"

10 Storage Products That Are Tearing Up The Rule Book / March 2022

These 10 startups have introduced their first hardware, software and cloud products, highlighting new ways to tackle a range of storage issues. Graid Technology [Santa Clara, Calif.] developed and is shipping what it calls the world’s first NVMeoF (NVMe over Fabric) RAID card that delivers full SSD performance. The company’s SupremeRAID overcomes traditional RAID card performance bottlenecks by connecting the SSDs directly via NVMeoF, letting a single card deliver 16 million IOPS and 110 Gbytes per second of throughput. The company is partnering with Gigabyte, Kioxia, AMD, and Seagate to bring the technology to enterprise data center customers. [Read the full story here]

Don't miss our joint speaker session with Supermicro, where we'll walk through scaling approaches across every tier, from single-server to rack-scale to monolithic deployments, and show how dense NVMe GPU platforms paired with SupremeRAID™ turn SSDs into a high-performance, protected KV cache tier. If storage is becoming your AI infrastructure bottleneck, this is the session to catch. See you at FMS 2026!
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.
