Graid Technology Updated SupremeRAID V.1.6 Software

Graid Technology, Inc. announced its SupremeRAID V.1.6. software release.

This new feature set addresses critical data integrity issues associated with double failures in RAID configurations.

A double failure occurs when a RAID system experiences a power outage or an unclean shutdown during the rebuilding of data from a previous disk failure. Traditionally, RAID systems utilize a persistent journal to log every I/O transaction and its corresponding parity. This method ensures that in-progress I/O operations and their parities can be recovered. The use of a single device to store this persistent journal has become a significant single point of failure and a bottleneck in modern NVMe SSD RAID configurations. Until now, this challenge has remained unaddressed in the market. With SupremeRAID v1.6, the distributed journal feature is designed to eliminate this single point of failure and significantly improve performance bottlenecks by distributing data and parity across all disks in a RAID group and redundantly journaling to provide maximum RAID stability with minimal impact on overall system performance.

“With data and parity already distributed across every disk in a RAID group,” said Leander Yu, CEO, Graid, “Our new distributed journal feature is the perfect design to ensure maximum data integrity while maintaining high performance levels.”

Availability:

• The company will commence the distribution of the SupremeRAID v1.6 beta version to its OEM customers and global accounts in early May.

• The public release of SupremeRAID v1.6 is scheduled for late June. This new version will simultaneously be available for all Graid products.
