Our vendor is launching the innovative StarWind Backup Appliance, which includes the built-in GRAID SupremeRAID™. It is the world's first NVMe-oF RAID card that guarantees the fastest NVMe RAID data protection on the market.
StarWind is, a leading provider of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions for demanding enterprises. The manufacturer is always striving to design and introduce the latest data center solutions to the IT market, at competitive prices. NVMe SSDs are on track to become the standard for storage infrastructure. The backup solution from StarWind was already based solely on NVMe drives. The new StarWind Backup Appliance from now on completely removes the RAID controller bottleneck and provides NVMe SSD performance enhancements with GRAID. Popular hardware RAID cards were not designed to work with NVMe's ultra-fast flash. RAID software has also been left behind, and its use would significantly reduce NVMe performance potential while consuming huge amounts of CPU power. GRAID provides maximum NVMe performance, reliable data protection and impressive flexibility at a very low total cost of ownership. Stovaris has the option to purchase the NVMe-oF RAID card separately in its GRAID SupremeRAID™ distribution offering.
"GRAID provides advanced, software-composed data protection that offers exceptional features and fast ROI for workloads requiring IOPS. A single GRAID SupremeRAID™ card can easily manage 32 direct-attached NVMe SSDs and deliver 16 million I/O operations per second and 110 GB/s throughput (when combined with scalable third-generation Intel® Xeon® processors, available from StarWind). Since the solution is based on NVMe-oF, there is no loss of network performance. GRAID takes full ownership of RAID computing, so all your computation is dedicated to your applications only."
"The GRAID-enhanced SupremeRAID™ backup appliance from StarWind is the ultimate backup solution. It will prepare your infrastructure for 5G, AI and AioT, and will be ready for new solutions once NVMe and machine learning become the norm in the near future. Companies that want to beat their competitors need to look at the latest hardware and software and find ways to leverage them ahead of time to increase flexibility and business continuity. Excellence is for the calculating and the brave."
