Graid Technology Named CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree

SANTA CLARA, Calif., November 16, 2021 (Newswire.com) -  Graid Technology today announced that it has been named a CES® 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for its cutting-edge solution,  Graid SupremeRAID™, the world's first NVMe RAID to eliminate the traditional RAID bottleneck and unlock the full potential of enterprise SSD performance.

 Graid Technology Named CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree

This year's CES Innovation Awards program received a record-high number of over 1,800 submissions. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2022, the world's most influential technology event, happening Jan. 5-8 in Las Vegas, NV, and digitally.

The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products across 28 product categories. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic, and design.

"We are extremely honored to be named an Innovation Awards Honoree," said Leander Yu, CEO of  Graid Technology. "Our team is passionate about providing our customers the world's most powerful data protection for NVMe SSDs, without sacrificing the performance they need. Our innovative solution provides the speed, ease of use, flexibility and TCO the market demands for the future of high-performance workloads."

Named one of the Ten Hottest Data Storage Startups of 2021 by CRN,  Graid SupremeRAID™ is already breaking world records.  Graid Technology's innovative NVMe RAID solution accelerates high-performance applications, offering a new way for enterprise data centers to achieve record-breaking NVMe SSD or NVMeoF performance without sacrificing data security or business continuity.

Designed for a modern software composable environment,  Graid SupremeRAID™ protects direct-attached flash storage as well as storage connected via NVMe over Fabrics (NVMeoF), while delivering 6M IOPS 4k random IO and 30GB/s throughput (PCIe Gen 3) or 100GB/s throughput (PCIe Gen 4) with a single card.

Graid Technology will be showcasing their solution at CES 2022 Innovation Awards Showcase at the Venetian Expo, Halls A-C, Booth #52952. To set up a meeting with  Graid Technology at CES, email [email protected].

At WAIC 2026, Graid Technology will join Superhi to showcase how protected local NVMe storage can help accelerate LLM inference through KV Cache offloading. With GPU-accelerated data protection, GPUDirect Storage support, and no extra RAID hardware required, SupremeRAID™ AE helps reduce TTFT and improve inference response stability.
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, Graid 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.
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.
