GRAID Technology is redefining the future of SSD performance with SupremeRAID 

Judith Appiagyei - Marketing Assistant- DiGiCOR

Our world is rapidly evolving, naturally, so is storage infrastructure. Due to the significant increasing capabilities of current storage infrastructure, traditional RAID cards struggle with activating the full potential of NVMe SSDs. GRAID technology targeted this issue and came up with a solution that unlocks the full potential of your SSD performance. SupremeRAID is the world’s first future-ready RAID card that combats the bottlenecks of traditional RAID cards. 

Traditional RAID cards struggle with keeping up with the rapidly increasing performance of SSDs, this ends up impacting the performance of your storage infrastructure. 

Available RAID card uses a large portion of the CPU computing power whilst only delivering 10-20% SSD performance. Nowadays, a single NVMe SSD can deliver an estimated one million and 7GB/S throughput. This calls for a solution that can deliver NVMe SSD performance without jeopardizing data security or creating business interruptions. Overall traditional RAID cards struggle with keeping up with current NVME SSD technology, this, therefore, restricts your business storage infrastructure performance. 

SupremeRAID is a solution that eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional RAID cards and unlocks the full potential of your SSD performance. 

SupremeRAID provides greater scalability, flexibility, and significant performance while decreasing the total cost of ownership. This creation defects the limitations of traditional RAID cards by delivering maximum SSD performance and comprehensive data protection at the lowest TCO. In addition, a single SupremeRAID card is proficient in delivering 16 million IOPS and 100GB/s of throughput with a single SupremeRAID card. Also, in contrast to traditional RAID cards, SupremeRAID does not use significant CPU resources. In short, SupremeRAID tackles the limitations of traditional RAID cards by delivering world-record performance.

SupremeRAID cutting edge technology is linked with a range of benefits such as being highly scalable, easy to use, flexible including future reading, delivering world record performance, and freeing up CPU resources. 

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
Full NVMe performance with a single card: 16M IOPS and 110GB/s throughput based on RAID5 with 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon Scalable Platform and Intel D7-P5510

 

Free Up CPU Resources
Offload your entire RAID computation to the GRAID card to free-up CPU computing resources for 5G, AI, and AIoT applications.  

 

Highly Scalable
 Easily manage 32 direct-attached NVMe SSDs; extend data protection without sacrificing performance with Software Composable Infrastructure. 

 

Plug & Play
Effortless installation, no cabling or motherboard re-layout required; direct connect to SSD without PCIe switches. 

 

Easy to Use
GRAID doesn’t rely on memory caching technology, eliminating the need for battery backup modules. Overcome the limitations of hardware RAID cards, such as compute performance, PCIe bandwidth, the number of SSDs supported, and the effort of battery maintenance. 

Lastly, It simultaneously supports all types of storage device interfaces, such as SATA, SAS, U.2, M.2, and even AIC. These benefits linked to SupremeRAID maximize the experience of using SupremeRAID. 

When combined with Seagate Exos 2x14, SupremeRAID can provide users with twice the read and write performance. 

Seagate Exos 2x14 is designed with MACH.2 technology, which delivers twice the performance of traditional hard drives while providing the same hard disk volume and storage space. When paired with SupremeRAID, which provides high-speed data protection, users can maximize the performance of Seagate’s technology. Seagate Exos 2x14 is ideal for scenarios such as large-scale data centers, hyper-scale applications, content delivery networks, video streaming or editing, and more. Users can enjoy excellent data protection when and outstanding performance with Seagate Exos 2x14 and SupremeRAID. 

Summary

SupremeRAID is the world’s first future-ready Raid card. It protects your direct-attached flash storage and also those connected via NVMe over Fabrics at significant speed and low TCO, it unlocks the full potential of your SSD performance and eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional RAID cards. In addition, GRAID Technology's cutting-edge technology comes with a range of benefits such as highly scalable, easy to use, flexible and future reading, world-record performance, and free up CPU resources. Lastly, this technology can be paired with Seagate Exos 2x14 to provide users with twice the read and write performance and excellent data protection.
