New benchmarks set by HighPoint & Xinnor for RAID storage

HighPoint Technologies and Xinnor have released performance results from their collaboration on enterprise-class RAID storage solutions, showcasing enhanced storage performance for data-intensive workflows.

The technical analysis evaluated HighPoint's Rocket 1628A NVMe Switch Adapter in conjunction with Xinnor's xiRAID engine. Notable results included sequential read speeds of up to 52.7 GB/s in RAID6 configuration and write performance reaching 29.4 GB/s with dual RAID5 arrays. Additionally, it reported 98-100% efficiency for sequential read operations and up to 95% efficiency for write operations.

Davide Villa, Chief Revenue Officer at Xinnor, said, "These results demonstrate that organisations can now achieve enterprise-level storage performance using commercially available components. This is a game-changer for industries requiring high-performance storage solutions, from media production to scientific computing."

The storage solution is particularly advantageous for entities dealing with extensive data operations. This includes media companies managing 8K video workflows, research institutions processing scientific datasets, financial services firms performing high-speed analytics, and other sectors where high-performance storage is vital.

HighPoint's Gen5 x16 NVMe Switch Adapter, combined with Xinnor's xiRAID engine, purportedly establishes a new standard for enterprise storage solutions. May Hwang, Vice President of Marketing at HighPoint Technologies, said, "This collaboration empowers organisations seeking RAID 5 or RAID 6 data redundancy to achieve unmatched storage performance and capacity. With support for up to 32 NVMe drives or near-4 Petabyte storage capacity in a single PCIe slot, this solution delivers exceptional scalability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for data-intensive applications across industries."

The study tested RAID5 and RAID6 configurations using Micron and KIOXIA NVMe drives. This illustrated the solution's flexibility across various storage settings and functional requirements.

Xinnor's xiRAID software is a high-performance RAID engine engineered for optimal efficiency and speed across numerous applications. It allows for superior throughput, low-latency operations, and robust data protection, making it a suitable solution for industries necessitating premier storage capabilities. Its adaptable integration with diverse hardware layouts ensures scalability and alignment with unique organisational demands.
