GRAID Technology Unveils the Future of Enterprise Data Protection

GRAID’s virtual NVMe solution sets the new performance standard for composable data center solutions.

[Santa Clara, California]:   GRAID Technology today announced the launch of GRAID SupremeRAID™, the world's first NVMe RAID card to deliver 100% available SSD performance, offering a new way for enterprise data centers to achieve record-breaking NVMe SSD or NVMeoF performance without sacrificing data security or business continuity.

Designed for a modern software composable environment, GRAID Technology’s disruptive solution sets the new standard for RAID data protection by protecting direct-attached flash storage as well as storage connected via NVMe over Fabrics (NVMeoF), with proven world-record performance. Industry leaders Gigabyte and Kioxia are some of the first to offer GRAID Technology’s game-changing solution to global enterprise data center customers.

As NVMe SSD quickly becomes the new standard for storage infrastructure, a challenge arises for datacenter storage infrastructure design: the industry requires a future-ready solution to deliver NVMe SSD performance without sacrificing data security or business continuity. Now, with proven performance tests and partnerships with global industry leaders, GRAID SupremeRAID™ removes the traditional RAID performance bottleneck and delivers world-record performance, comprehensive data protection, unmatched flexibility, at the lowest TCO on the market.

“GRAID Technology is proud to partner with Kioxia and GIGABYTE to unveil the next generation of NVMe server, storage and data protection technology, capable of delivering industry leading performance for the future of 5G, AI and IoT workloads,” says Leander Yu, CEO of GRAID Technology Inc.  

Daniel Hou, VP of Networking and Communication at GIGABYTE, states: “With each generational leap there are more demanding workloads that require fast throughput from storage solutions. GIGABYTE has partnered with GRAID Technology and Kioxia to develop industry leading performance for Gen 4 NVMe SSDs showcased in R282-Z94, that deliver blazing fast performance in a storage dense 2U chassis.”
