NEWS: CRN Features Graid Technology: "Top Ten Hottest Data Storage Startups of 2021"

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.
