xiNAS is Xinnor’s high-performance NFS server solution designed for AI, HPC, and other throughput-hungry environments. This document presents a validation of xiNAS on a Supermicro NVMe server, demonstrating performance and resilience across multi-client and multi-server scenarios, including degraded and rebuild states.

Supermicro’s portfolio includes several high-performance storage platforms specifically engineered for AI workloads on object storage, delivering the high throughput and low latency required for both inference and training.

In this solution brief, we will describe a high-performance storage cluster, purpose-built for the most demanding AI training and inference workloads running over an Ethernet network. The key components of the storage architecture include Supermicro’s Petascale server equipped with Micron E3.S NVMe, connected via NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet.

Supermicro X14 Systems Deliver Outstanding Storage Performance and Power Efficiency for Optimal Storage Solutions in AI, HPC, and Critical Enterprise Applications.

Introducing 4 storage essentials for enterprise AI success; explore how to right-size data lakes (for aggregating enterprise data) and lakehouses (for running analytics) to power success in the AI era.

Supermicro and DDN have collaborated to create the Enterprise AI HyperPOD, a turnkey solution for enterprise AI inferencing and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

STAC recently performed a STAC-M3™ benchmark audit on a solution featuring the KDB+ database system sharded across six Supermicro Storage SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R servers. (ID: KDB250929)

AI/ML workloads demand extreme performance and uncompromising data resilience. Supermicro GPU servers paired with Graid Technology’s SupremeRAID™ AE (AI Edition) deliver RAID 5 protection for NVMe SSDs with near-native bandwidth, even under AI I/O patterns using NVIDIA GPUDirect® Storage (GDS).

As AI/ML, Agentic AI, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workloads grow in complexity and demand, the performance of underlying storage systems becomes mission-critical. To keep GPUs fully utilized, storage must deliver exceptional performance in both sequential and random operations. With their excellent performance, NVMe PCIe drives are ideal for mission-critical applications.
