FMS 2025: Graid Technology Introduces SupremeRAID HE for HA HPC and AI Workloads 

Graid Technology, Inc. announces the availability of SupremeRAID HE (HPC Edition) – a new addition to the SupremeRAID product family engineered for HPC, AI factories, and enterprise environments that demand both speed and resilience at scale. 

SupremeRAID HE is a first GPU-based RAID solution designed specifically for high availability in clustered and distributed environments. It offloads RAID operations from the CPU to the GPU, unlocking extreme NVMe performance – up to 132GB/s read and 83GB/s write throughput after RAID processing – while freeing up CPU resources for upper-layer applications. 

Engineered specifically for HPC, AI factories, and enterprise workloads that demand both speed and resilience at scale, this GPU-accelerated high availability solution helps safeguard data, maintain regulatory standards, and keeps demanding applications running at scale — maximizing both resilience and speed.

Designed for Distributed, Performance-Hungry Environments
SupremeRAID HE achieves breakthrough performance in clustered and distributed systems by shifting RAID operations from the CPU to the GPU. By leveraging GPU acceleration, it unlocks exceptionally high NVMe throughput — up to 132GB/s for reads and 83GB/s for writes after RAID processing — freeing up CPU resources for critical application workloads and improving overall system efficiency.

Built for environments where high availability is critical, SupremeRAID HE features integrated array migration across nodes and cross-node RAID protection without the need for data replication. That means more usable capacity, lower TCO, and simplified failover…even in the most demanding enterprise and HPC infrastructures.

Supporting Ceph, Lustre, MinIO, IBM SpectrumScale, and More
Originally showcased in a joint reference architecture with Supermicro and BeeGFS, SupremeRAID HE is now fully hardware- and file-system agnostic. The latest release supports popular parallel file systems including Ceph, Lustre, MinIO, and IBM SpectrumScale, as well as deployment across JBOFs with Broadcom BF3 switches. This flexibility makes SupremeRAID HE ideal for organizations looking to maximize NVMe efficiency across diverse storage environments.

Unlock Full Potential of NVMe
Whether you’re scaling an AI cluster, building out an HPC node, or modernizing enterprise storage architecture, SupremeRAID HE empowers team to achieve:

• GPU-accelerated RAID performance with near-theoretical throughput
• Cross-node high availability without replication
• Increased CPU headroom for upper-layer services
• integration across a broad range of infrastructure
