Graid Technology Unveils SupremeRAID™ V1.6 For Improved Data Integrity And Business Continuity

Graid Technology, renowned for its innovative data protection solutions, recently unveiled SupremeRAID™ v1.6, a significant software update designed to enhance RAID configurations' data integrity. This latest release introduces a distributed journal feature, addressing the longstanding issue of double failures in RAID systems, which can occur during power outages or unclean shutdowns while rebuilding data from a previous disk failure.

Traditionally, RAID systems have relied on a persistent journal to log every I/O transaction and its corresponding parity, a method that ensures the recovery of in-progress operations. However, the reliance on a single device for this journal has emerged as a critical point of failure and a performance bottleneck in modern NVMe SSD RAID setups. SupremeRAID™ v1.6's distributed journal feature aims to eliminate this vulnerability by distributing data and parity across all disks in a RAID group, thereby enhancing system stability and performance.

Leander Yu, CEO of Graid Technology, emphasized the significance of the new feature, stating, "With data and parity already distributed across every disk in a RAID group, our new distributed journal feature is the perfect design to ensure maximum data integrity while maintaining high performance levels." This development marks a significant step forward in addressing RAID systems' challenges.

The company has announced that the beta version of SupremeRAID™ v1.6 will be available to its OEM customers and key global accounts starting early May, with a public release scheduled for late June. This update will be applicable across all Graid Technology products.

Based in Silicon Valley, California, with an R&D center in Taipei, Taiwan, Graid Technology has been recognized for its contributions to the field with awards such as the Tech Trailblazers Storage Award for 2023 and the 2023 Golden Award at the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance. The company's SupremeRAID™ performance has set new benchmarks by delivering 28 million IOPS and 260GB/s of throughput with a single card, showcasing its capability to unlock the full potential of SSD performance.
