The French Storage Podcast: Interview with Leander Yu, Founder & CEO of Graid Technology

Graid Technology joined the 46th edition of The IT Press Tour in California this week and it was the perfect opportunity to record a new podcast episode with Leander Yu, CEO and founder of the company. The company designs, develops and builds a GPU-based RAID PCIe card to protect NVMe SSDs. We spoke about the roots of the project, its financial profile, the product, how does it work, the use cases ad workloads support, the got-to-market, the pricing and a bit of future directions as well. Enjoy the listening. Thank you Leander.

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.
