NEWS: Graid Technology Unveils the Future of Enterprise Data Protection

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 1, 2021 (Newswire.com)  Graid Technology today announced the launch of  Graid SupremeRAID™, the world's first NVMe RAID card to deliver 100% available SSD performance, 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 Technology’s disruptive solution sets the new standard for RAID data protection by protecting direct-attached flash storage as well as storage connected via NVMe over Fabrics (NVMeoF), with proven world-record performance. Industry leaders Gigabyte and Kioxia are some of the first to offer  Graid Technology’s game-changing solution to global enterprise data center customers.

As NVMe SSD quickly becomes the new standard for storage infrastructure, a challenge arises for datacenter storage infrastructure design: the industry requires a future-ready solution to deliver NVMe SSD performance without sacrificing data security or business continuity. Now, with proven performance tests and partnerships with global industry leaders,  Graid SupremeRAID™ removes the traditional RAID performance bottleneck and delivers world-record performance, comprehensive data protection, unmatched flexibility, at the lowest TCO on the market.

Introducing  Graid SupremeRAID™

“ Graid Technology is proud to partner with Kioxia and GIGABYTE to unveil the next generation of NVMe server, storage and data protection technology, capable of delivering industry leading performance for the future of 5G, AI and IoT workloads,”

Leander Yu, CEO of  Graid Technology

“With each generational leap there are more demanding workloads that require fast throughput from storage solutions. GIGABYTE has partnered with  Graid Technology and Kioxia to develop industry leading performance for Gen 4 NVMe SSDs showcased in R282-Z94, that deliver blazing fast performance in a storage dense 2U chassis.”

Daniel Hou, VP of Networking and Communication at GIGABYTE

Solution Advantages
  • Flexible & Future Ready Optimized for SCI (Software Composable Infrastructure) means unmatched flexibility and automation capabilities with NVMeoF support
  • World Record Performance With 6M IOPS 4k random IO and 25GB/s throughput with single  Graid SupremeRAID™ card on a PCIe Gen3 platform, or 100GB/s throughput on a PCIe Gen4 platform,  Graid SupremeRAID™ has redefined performance standards for SSD RAID technology
  • Liberate CPU Resources Offload your entire RAID computation to the  Graid card to free-up precious CPU computing resources for 5G, AI and AIoT applications
  • Plug & Play Effortless installation, no cabling or motherboard re-layout required
  • Highly Scalable Easily add features like compression, encryption, or thin provisioning; or use for computational storage
  • Easy to Use Unlike traditional hardware RAID systems,  Graid SupremeRAID™ does not rely on memory caching technology to improve performance, eliminating the need for battery backup modules

Graid SupremeRAID™ will be available to the North America market starting July 1, 2021 and is available direct or through data center solution partners.

Graid Technology Achieves Industry-First 100 Million IOPS on a Protected RAID 5 Volume for GPU-Initiated I/O

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, [...]

Blog: Stop Paying the Storage Tax

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.
