3. Rapid Changes Across The Storage Landscape
4. A Decade of Change in the Storage Market • Storage systems are becoming increasingly software-defined • Commodity hardware prevents vendor lock-in • SSDs are replacing HDD as the storage medium of choice for the enterprise as they deliver lower TCO with improved scalability and flexibility • Gartner analysts predict enterprise SSDs will be 32% of overall HDD/SSD capacity shipped by 2026 (vs ~20% share in 2021) 4 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc.

5. Why NVMe RAID Matters 5 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. NVMe SSDs Are Used Everywhere Cloud, core, and edge infrastructure Business and consumer applications NVMe SSDs Continue To Improve Speed doubles with each new generation Capacity of 30TB now and 60TB soon SSDs All Wear Down & Some Fail During Use Flash memory endurance is limited Electronics can fail without warning Servers and Workstations Getting Denser Systems available with 100+ CPU and 10,000+ GPU cores 1U servers now support up to 32 SSDs (capacity of 1 PB now and 2 PB soon)
6. NVMe Market Segments Experiencing Growth 6 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. AI & Machine Learning Need high-speed data access for rapid model training and processing NVMe servers address this requirement effectively Edge Computing Growing demand for HPC in edge locations NVMe servers are crucial for supporting edge computing applications Big Data Analytics Companies in finance, healthcare, retail, etc., adopting NVMe servers NVMe servers accelerate data analytics for faster insights Cloud Service Providers Need for faster data processing fuels NVMe adoption in the cloud segment NVMe servers play a significant role in the growth of cloud infrastructure Telecom & 5G Infrastructure Telecom companies integrating NVMe servers for efficient handling NVMe servers play a crucial role in meeting the demands of 5G technology
7. Traditional RAID throttles performance, leaving little to no ROI on investment in NVMe SSDs • Flash storage performance is evolving too fast to be fully utilized by existing storage architectures • Software-based RAID competes with other applications for CPU power, slowing the whole system down • Advances in NVMe technology are moving so fast that ASIC-based RAID can’t deliver the full performance capability of the SSDs The Challenge: 7 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. Traditional RAID Is A Bottleneck
8. 8 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. Hardware RAID Creates Performance Bottlenecks Hardware RAID products support up to 32 NVMe SSDs but cannot use all available performance. Hardware RAID scales capacity by adding NVMe SSDs but this does not scale throughput. Hardware RAID delivers only 50% performance due to lane limits! Hardware RAID reduces this to 16 PCIe lanes 128 lanes with 32 SSDs (4 PCIe Lanes per SSD) Hardware RAID limits performance nearly 50% due to lane limits HW RAID APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION Hardware RAID throughput is limited to the equivalent of 2-4 NVMe SSDs
9. 9 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. Software RAID Competes with Applications for CPU Cycles Software RAID competes with OS and applications, consuming 30-40% of CPU 128 lanes with 32 SSDs (4 PCIe Lanes per SSD) During drive rebuilds, that can climb as high as 75% APPLICATION APPLICATION OPERATING SYSTEM Software RAID runs alongside applications and the operating system, competing with them for CPU cycles. As the number and speed of NVMe drives increase, more CPU cycles are required to keep up. Software RAID consumes 30% to 40% of CPU. During drive rebuilds, as high as 75%!
10. 10 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. SupremeRAID™ Delivers Performance, Value & Innovation 128 lanes with 32 SSDs (4 PCIe Lanes per SSD) APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION SupremeRAID™ eliminates the RAID bottleneck without taxing the CPU… …to deliver 100% SSD performance to applications SupremeRAID™ is a software-defined solution on a GPU, so data doesn’t travel through the card. Utilizing an off-the-shelf GPU for processing means the system’s CPU is not involved. SupremeRAID™ GPU-based RAID delivers 100% SSD potential performance!

21. ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. Hardware RAID by Broadcom • Broadcom comes with 16 lanes directly connected to SSD; each NVMe SSD occupies 4 lanes • System design requires an extra PCIe switch to work around the number of SSDs supported • The PCIe switch aggregates SSD lanes into 16 lanes to connect to RAID card 21 GPU-based SupremeRAID™ • SSDs connect directly to PCIe bus • SupremeRAID™ is a PCIe device connected to PCIe bus that leverages patented technology for RAID protection out of the data path • No extra PCIe switch is needed • Removes all throughput bottlenecks 32 SSDs at 4 lanes requires 128 lanes, but bandwidth is limited to 16 lanes SupremeRAID™ supports the maximum number of SSDs allowed by your system Achieve Maximum SSD Support Without Throughput Bottlenecks Hardware RAID vs SupremeRAID™
22. ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. Rescue Wasted CPU Performance Without Compromising Security 22 Software RAID vs SupremeRAID™ “Applying the following kernel parameters will lead to a security risk. While they improve performance, they also reduce system security. Please use these parameters at your own responsibility.” – Xinnor Performance Disclaimer To achieve SupremeRAID™ performance with software RAID, you risk reducing system security: Rescue Wasted Performance The math is simple: software RAID10 mirrors data across drive pairs, reducing bandwidth by 50%. Achieve Better Overall TCO SupremeRAID™ with RAID5 delivers faster performance than software RAID and up to 50% higher capacity with the same SSDs. Reclaim Valuable System Resources SupremeRAID™ utilizes a GPU for RAID acceleration while software RAID uses CPU cores, consuming up to 87% of system resources.
23. 23 ©2024 Graid Technology Inc. • Xinnor xiRAID software RAID uses the host CPU to carry out the striping and parity calculations • SupremeRAID™ uses multiple GPU cores to parallelize the parity calculations and perform them faster than software RAID can • Benchmark testing compared Xinnor xiRAID v4.0.1 and SupremeRAID™ v1.5, which was faster and used less CPU in all the test scenarios SupremeRAID™ vs. Xinnor xiRAID SupremeRAID™ outshines Xinnor xiRAID, providing unmatched CPU efficiency for your app workloads “SupremeRAID™ offers several advantages over other NVMe software RAID solutions, including Xinnor xiRAID, offering better CPU effectiveness, freeing up host CPU resources to focus on application workloads rather than storage RAID overhead.” https://www.graidtech.com/supremeraid-vs-xinnor-xiraid/
