How It Works

In Software-Composable Infrastructure (SCI), compute, storage, and networking resources are abstracted from their physical locations and can be managed with software via a web-based interface. 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 is the possibility for SCI to disaggregate storage resources without sacrificing performance and latency. As NVM SSD technology rapidly evolves however, a major performance bottleneck is introduced — RAID data protection.

In the HDD era, a simple ASIC on a RAID card was capable enough to handle all I/O – after all, even with SAS HDD, maximum performance was only around 200 IOPS and 150MB/s of throughput. However, in the SSD era a single NVMe SSD can deliver around 1 M IOPS and 7Gb/s of throughput. This results in a hardware RAID card or software RAID system that is unable to handle the massive performance leap of an SSD, and ends up being the biggest performance bottleneck of your storage infrastructure.

In addition, traditional hardware RAID cards require storage disks to be directly connected to the RAID card via cables, severely limiting their usefulness in modern Software-Composable Infrastructure or high performance applications.

Flexible & Future Ready
SupremeRAID™ revolutionary AI eliminates the traditional RAID bottleneck by pulling SSD resources from a remote JBOF to provision a storage volume for your high performance applications.

Free-Up CPU Resources
SupremeRAID™ shoulders all the IO processing and RAID computation burden, freeing-up your precious CPU resources for other applications, increasing your productivity and reducing costs.

Plug & Play
Unlike traditional hardware RAID cards, SupremeRAID™ doesn’t require extra cabling to connect SSD disks to the RAID card, eliminating the costs of refactoring your existing hardware system, and avoiding another potential point of failure.

Supports a Variety of NVMe Interfaces
SupremeRAID™ can be used with U.2, M.2 or even AIC NVMe interfaces, making SupremeRAID™ the most versatile NVMe SSD RAID card in the world.

User Friendly & Easy to Manage
SupremeRAID™ leverages its powerful computing and software capabilities to achieve up to 40x performance gain compared with a traditional RAID card without memory caching, eliminating the need for backup battery modules.
