Storage Is the AI Bottleneck. Here's What to Do About It.

Your GPUs are only as fast as the data you can feed them.

There's a persistent misconception in AI infrastructure: that inference is stateless. It isn't. Every large language model processing long-context conversations generates KV cache data that has to live somewhere. When GPU memory fills up, that data spills directly to NVMe storage. If your storage can't keep pace, your model slows down. It's that direct. This is the bottleneck most infrastructure teams aren't talking about — and it's exactly what Graid Technology is solving.

Our SupremeRAID™ solution offloads RAID processing from the CPU to the GPU, delivering:

— Tens of millions of IOPS
— Hundreds of GB/s throughput
— Full enterprise resilience
— without taxing your compute

The result is higher GPU utilization, lower cost per token, and KV cache overflow that hits NVMe at near in-memory speeds.

Watch here as Garrett McKibben and Kelley Osburn break it all down in our latest video. If you're building or evaluating AI infrastructure, this one is worth your time!

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.
Graid Technology is proud to announce that it has been recognized in the 2026 Taiwan AI Awards, standing out among 137 outstanding companies.
