SupremeRAID™ AE Featured in CRN for NVIDIA GTC 2025

13 AI-Focused Storage Offerings On Display At Nvidia GTC 2025

By Joseph F. Kovar / March 19, 2025, 4:30 PM EDT

While some of the top storage vendors pledged support for the new Nvidia AI Data Platform reference design for AI infrastructure and AI inference, others introduce a wide range of hardware and software aimed at expanding the overall AI ecosystem.

Graid Technology SupremeRAID™ AE (AI Edition)

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Graid used Nvidia GTC 2025 to introduce its SupremeRAID AE (AI Edition), which was designed to help enterprises running GPU servers and AI workloads deliver optimized data management with GPUDirect Storage (GDS) and an Intelligent Data Offload Engine. By enabling direct NVMe-to-GPU transfers, it helps eliminate bottlenecks and reduces latency for faster model training and inference. Its offload engine optimizes GPU utilization by handling data tasks, freeing GPU resources for AI processing. SupremeRAID AE supports NVMe-oF for scalable AI storage, and provides enterprise-grade RAID protection to help ensure uninterrupted access to critical datasets. Its flexible GPU deployment model allows enterprises to scale workloads while maximizing AI infrastructure performance.

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.
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, we 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.
