Graid’s SupremeRAID delivers storage speeds nicely above what might be achieved with typical RAID configurations, and optimizes NVMe SSD efficiency by combining a GPU with a software-defined storage (SDS) stack.
RAID playing cards can solely attain speeds of as much as 28GB/s with Gen4 SSDs and so to totally make the most of one RAID card, you want 4 Gen4 SSDs. To maximise using a 24-bay server, you may want a number of RAID playing cards. Nonetheless, SupremeRAID is completely different. It might assist as much as 32 drives in a single system and is not restricted by the utmost bandwidth of a PCIe slot.
Graid’s expertise is designed to streamline knowledge movement from the CPU to the NVMe SSDs, bypassing CPU cycle consumption and eliminating throughput bottlenecks. This method is meant to reinforce the efficiency of NVMe SSDs, that are identified for his or her excessive pace and low latency, and are essential in duties resembling CAD, video modifying and, IoT. The caveat with the SupremeRAID system is it’s at present solely suitable with Nvidia GPUs.
SR-1001
Graid’s first card, the SR-1000, has a PCIe gen 3 interface, whereas the observe up, SR-1010 makes use of the quicker PCIe gen 4. They’ve now been joined by a 3rd, entry stage card, the SR-1001. It is a lower down model of the SR-1000 (with a PCIe gen 3 interface) and tops out at 80GB/s 1M sequential learn speeds, versus 220GB/s.
It is also restricted to a most of eight NVMe SSDs, fairly than the 32 supported by its extra highly effective siblings, concentrating on it squarely at prosumers and the house server market.
Leander Yu, President and CEO of Graid Expertise, stated, “As NVMe SSDs play an important function in cloud, core, and edge infrastructure, the demand for enhanced knowledge safety with out compromising efficiency is clear. SupremeRAID SR-1001 addresses this want by delivering best-in-class efficiency and hermetic knowledge safety whereas optimizing throughput, parallelism, and latency, guaranteeing seamless efficiency on the edge. We’re excited so as to add the SR-1001 to the SupremeRAID suite of merchandise.”
The SupremeRAID SR-1001, for 1U towers and edge servers, is outwardly that can be purchased now, however pricing just isn’t at present identified – anybody heading to the corporate’s web site is directed to a listing of suppliers, however clicking on the hyperlink opens up a kind to request extra info.
