GRAID SupremeRAID - RAID card with support for NVMeoF protocol
GRAID SupremeRAID - the world's first RAID card with NVMeoF protocol support to take full advantage of SSD performance
Hardware RAID controllers or software RAID solutions are used to protect data in the event of disk failure. In the era of traditional HDDs, a simple ASIC hardware chip on a RAID card was able to fully handle all input/output (I/O) operations, even with SAS HDDs, the maximum performance was around 200 IOPS at 150MB/s transfer rate.
However, in the SSD era, a single NVMe SSD can handle up to 1 million I/O operations per second with transfers reaching 7GB/s. Hardware RAID cards or software RAID solutions can no longer handle such a huge performance boost offered by SSDs, which in turn makes them a performance bottleneck for the entire storage system.
Traditional hardware RAID cards require a direct cable connection to the RAID card, significantly limiting their usefulness in modern systems with software-defined infrastructure.
GRAID SupremeRAID is the future of data protection
GRAID SupremeRAID is the world's first NVMe RAID card to leverage the maximum available SSD performance. Enterprise data centers can now get record-breaking performance with NVMe SSDs or NVMeoF protocol much more easily, while maintaining data security and business continuity.
The revolutionary GRAID SupremeRAID hardware and software solution removes the performance bottleneck of traditional RAID protection for SSDs. It is also the world's first RAID solution with NVMeoF RAID protocol, which protects not only directly connected SSDs, but also those connected remotely using NVMe over FC (NVMeoF) protocol.
Unmatched GRAID SupremeRAID performance
The innovative technology used in GRAID SupremeRAID eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional RAID, unlocking the full potential of SSD performance. A single GRAID Supreme RAID card is capable of handling 8.8 million IOPS and delivering 100GB/s transfer rates.

Freeing up CPU resources for other applications
GRAID SupremeRAID takes over the entire load of processing I/O and RAID calculations, thus freeing up valuable CPU resources for other applications, increasing productivity and reducing costs as a result.
Plug & Play
Unlike traditional hardware RAID cards, GRAID SupremeRAID requires no additional cabling to connect SSDs, eliminating potential points of failure and the cost of hardware changes to existing systems.
GRAID SupremeRAID supports a variety of NVMe interfaces
GRAID SupremeRAID can be used with NVMe interfaces such as U.2, M.2 and even AIC (add-on card), making SupremeRAID™ the world's most versatile NVMe SSD RAID controller.
User-friendly and easy to manage
Traditional RAID hardware cards use specialized ASICs with limited processing power and must use cache memory modules to achieve satisfactory performance levels. The GRAID SupremeRAID card takes advantage of its tremendous software and hardware capabilities by achieving 2 to 10 times better performance, compared to traditional RAID cards, without the need for cache memory. It also eliminates the additional burden of managing the cache backup module while maintaining maximum performance all the time.
