White Paper: From JBOF to Unified AI-ready Enterprise Data Platform

Read the whitepaper

Graid Technology is proud to collaborate with AIC on a newly released whitepaper that explores a next-generation architecture for modern AI and HPC infrastructure.

The solution integrates AIC’s F2026 PCIe Gen5 NVMe JBOF, NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, and Graid SupremeRAID™ HE to create a unified, scalable AI-ready enterprise data platform designed to eliminate storage bottlenecks in high-performance environments.

By offloading storage networking to DPUs and RAID processing to GPU acceleration, the architecture enables organizations to achieve near bare-metal NVMe performance while maintaining enterprise-grade RAID protection. The platform delivers up to 8.8 million IOPS and 85 GB/s throughput in a compact 2U design, while sustaining full RAID 5/6 resilience.

With its zero-CPU storage architecture, this solution preserves host CPU resources for AI workloads while ensuring high availability through redundant controllers, NVMe-oF multipathing, and automated failover mechanisms.

Together with AIC, this collaboration demonstrates how GPU-accelerated RAID combined with DPU-driven storage networking can transform storage into a high-performance foundation for modern AI, HPC, and data-intensive workloads.

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.
