Graid Technology is set to make waves at Japan IT Week Spring 2025 with the showcase of its cutting-edge storage innovation: SupremeRAID™, the world’s first GPU-accelerated NVMe RAID solution. This breakthrough technology is poised to revolutionize enterprise storage performance, delivering an astounding 28 million IOPS and 260GB/s of read throughput, positioning it at the forefront of next-generation data center infrastructure.
SupremeRAID™: A New Era in RAID Performance
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) systems are critical for data protection and performance in enterprise environments. Traditionally, RAID solutions rely heavily on CPU resources, often becoming bottlenecks in high-performance storage deployments. Graid Technology’s SupremeRAID™ flips this paradigm by leveraging the immense parallel processing power of GPUs to accelerate RAID calculations, significantly reducing latency and enhancing throughput.
Unlike legacy hardware or software RAID setups, SupremeRAID™ eliminates the trade-off between performance and data protection, making it ideal for data-intensive sectors such as AI/ML workloads, video rendering, high-frequency trading, and real-time analytics.
Key Highlights of SupremeRAID™
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Acceleration Engine | GPU-based RAID processing |
| Max Read Throughput | Up to 260 GB/s |
| Max IOPS | Up to 28 Million IOPS |
| Supported Storage | NVMe SSDs |
| Compatibility | Works with existing enterprise storage setups |
| Use Cases | AI/ML, 3D rendering, HPC, FinTech, and more |
The ability to deliver 28 million IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) shatters the limitations of conventional RAID cards and software solutions, enabling companies to maximize the performance potential of their NVMe SSD arrays without compromising on reliability or data integrity.
The Technology Behind the Speed
SupremeRAID™ works by offloading compute-heavy RAID operations from the host CPU to a high-performance GPU. This architecture not only frees up CPU cycles for other critical tasks but also enables parallel data processing that dramatically improves I/O throughput.
Moreover, SupremeRAID™ supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50, ensuring broad flexibility for different redundancy and performance needs. Its intelligent design also includes advanced features such as failover support, hot-swap capabilities, and AI-powered drive health monitoring.
Global Impact and APAC Relevance
By unveiling SupremeRAID™ at Japan IT Week Spring 2025, Graid Technology is signaling its strong commitment to the Asia-Pacific market, where demand for high-throughput, low-latency storage solutions is surging due to the growth of AI startups, edge computing, and digital transformation in enterprise IT.
The APAC region, led by Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, is emerging as a hotbed for next-gen data infrastructure, and SupremeRAID™ is well-positioned to meet the performance expectations of forward-thinking IT leaders.
A Game-Changer for System Integrators and OEMs
For system integrators, OEMs, and hyperscale data centers, SupremeRAID™ presents a compelling value proposition:
- Reduced hardware footprint by eliminating the need for expensive RAID HBAs
- Lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) through better efficiency and performance
- Simplified deployment via software-defined architecture that integrates into existing platforms
Graid’s Vision: Accelerating the Future of Storage
In the age of AI and data-driven decision making, storage performance is no longer a backend concern—it’s a strategic differentiator. Graid Technology’s innovation with SupremeRAID™ reflects a forward-looking approach to meeting the needs of tomorrow’s data workloads, today.
With SupremeRAID™, Graid isn’t just showcasing a product; it’s redefining how we think about RAID—from a bottleneck to a performance enabler.
