News & Recognition

Taking the storage world by storm. Don’t just take our word for it, see what others are saying about SupremeRAID™.

“Probably the most impressive test we’ve seen so far…almost perfect scaling, that’s freaking incredible!”
Linus Tech Tips, SupremeRAID™ SR-1000 Review
“Absolutely astonishing storage performance. We don’t know exactly what SupremeRAID™’s algorithm looks like, but whatever magic it’s doing, it seems to work.”
Hot Hardware, SupremeRAID™ SR-1010 Review
“Leveraging a speedier PCIe 4.0 interface, the SupremeRAID™ SR-1010 arrives with a substantial performance uplift… it’s light years beyond even the most high-end hardware RAID arrays.”
Tom’s Hardware, SupremeRAID™ SR-1010 Review
“Absolutely phenomenal, we were blown away by the efficacy of this simple to use card and accompanying software. Compared to traditional hardware or software RAID options, SupremeRAID™ offers amazing ROI for demanding workloads.”
StorageReview, SupremeRAID™ SR-1000 Review
“A regular RAID array can’t match SAN & NAS NVMe performance, but SupremeRAID™ surely does.”
StarWind Hyperconvergence, Volodymyr Khrystenko
“Tremendous computational power…SupremeRAID™ delivers superior performance while increasing scalability, improving flexibility, and lowering TCO by utilizing the computational power of the GPU.”
StorageReview, SupremeRAID™ SR-1010 Review

The Future of Performance in SCI

We believe in Software-Composable Infrastructure (SCI): that compute, storage, and networking resources should be abstracted from their physical locations and managed by software. SCI makes data center resources as readily available as cloud services, and is the foundation for private and hybrid cloud solutions. Along with the emergence of NVMe SSD and NVMeoF technologies, we clearly see the possibilities of SCI to disaggregate storage resources without sacrificing performance and latency. However as NVMe SSD technologies rapidly evolve, we see a major performance bottleneck that has not yet been adequately addressed – RAID data protection. That’s why we developed SupremeRAID™.
