Welcome to the Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM)!

Graid Technology Inc. SupremeRAID is a software defined solution deployed on a GPU for maximum SSD performance without consuming CPU cycles. Unlike traditional RAID, which bottlenecks performance and reduces ROI on NVMe SSD spend, SupremeRAID employs unique out of path RAID technology, so data travels directly from CPU to storage to deliver maximum SSD performance, comprehensive data protection, and unmatched flexibility.

In the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) era, a simple ASIC on a RAID card was capable enough to handle all I/O – after all, even with SAS HDD, maximum performance was only around 200 IOPS and 150MB/s of throughput. However, in the SSD era a single NVMe SSD can deliver around 1 M IOPS and 7Gb/s of throughput. This results in a hardware RAID card or software RAID system that is unable to handle the massive performance leap of an SSD and ends up being the biggest performance bottleneck of your storage infrastructure. In addition, traditional hardware RAID cards require storage disks to be directly connected to the RAID card via cables, severely limiting their usefulness in modern Software-Composable Infrastructure or high-performance applications.

Graid Technology Inc. SupremeRAID:

— Flexible & Future Ready – Unmatched flexibility with features like new O/S support, compression, encryption, thin provisioning, or boot drive protection easily added with software releases.

— World Record Performance – Increasingly demanding workloads require faster throughput. SupremeRAID™ delivers the speed you need to power high performance applications.

— Liberate CPU Resources – Free-up precious CPU resources for high performance computing applications by offloading your entire RAID computation to the SupremeRAID™ card.

— Plug & Play Capability – Effortless installation, simply plug into any open PCle slot to offload RAID processing; no cabling or motherboard re-layout required. Just click, boom—rocket speeds.

— Highly Scalable Applications – Easily manage 32 direct attached NVMe SSDs; extend data protection without sacrificing performance with Software Composable Infrastructure (SCI).

— User-Friendly Management – SupremeRAID eliminates the need for battery backup modules because it doesn’t rely on memory caching to improve performance, like traditional hardware RAID.
