Protecting NVMe Storage Servers Without Throttling Performance
NVMe SSDs have become the standard choice for high-performance storage workloads, including those used in AI, HPC, and GPU Computing. Protecting the data on those storage servers is critical.
Traditional RAID is a bottleneck, and software-based RAID consumes valuable CPU cycles on storage servers. Both approaches throttle performance, which affects how quickly the storage can feed data to the compute clusters and users that rely on it. When storage and compute resources are being wasted, it impacts ROI and slows down business.
This is a problem on individual storage servers, but the problem becomes acute when deploying large NVMe storage clusters for AI training, HPC workloads, and processing of large unstructured data sets.
Hammerspace Combined with SupremeRAID™ GPU Accelerated RAID for NVMe Storage
Hammerspace, Graid Technology and Supermicro have partnered to solve this problem by offering a solution that combines Hammerspace – a standards-based parallel file system architecture – with Supermicro NVMe storage servers powered by the Graid SupremeRAID™ GPU-Accelerated RAID Cards.
This solution delivers high-throughput, low-latency performance to feed GPU and CPU clusters at high speeds, and eliminates the bottlenecks associated with traditional RAID approaches to maximize NVMe SSD performance.
