Our products

One architecture.
From one server to petabytes.

Every product shares one idea: shape data before it reaches the drive. maxRAID does it for flash, from a single server to a scale‑out grid. maxObject does it for hard drives.

SSDs: maxRAID vs RAID‑103

Less to buy. Less to power. Less to replace.

As few as 5 with highly compressible data.

SSD prices are rising.
You’re paying for flash
you don’t need.

Conventional RAID makes you buy too many drives, then wears them out early. Here is a 120 TB array over five years, under the same heavy‑write workload.4

How maxRAID does it

Halton Data Center

“I knew too much to believe what they told me — and not enough to prove them wrong.”

An engineer with fifteen years in data centers sent the maxRAID salesperson away in under twenty minutes. It took a year to run the one test that would settle it.

maxRAID is shipping today, from a company that has worked on flash since the first SATA SSDs. The rest of the platform is moving through beta toward general availability.

  1. Measured: 4K random writes on six 3.75 TB NVMe SSDs, maxRAID‑5 with five data drives and one parity drive. RAID‑10 delivered 1.0 million in the same test.
  2. Modeled: 120 TB usable on 15 TB SSDs under the same heavy‑write workload. RAID‑5 wears its SSDs out in about 20 months and RAID‑10 in about 36; maxRAID needs no replacements within five years.
  3. Modeled: 120 TB usable on 15 TB SSDs, with typical data that compresses by 30%. With no compression, maxRAID needs 9 SSDs; with highly compressible data (60%), 5. RAID‑10 needs 16 in every case.
  4. Modeled for one 120 TB usable array on 15 TB SSDs: 36‑month baseline drive life for RAID‑10, about 20 months for RAID‑5; five‑year horizon. maxRAID modeled with one parity drive and no compression ($40K vs $141K for RAID‑10). Drive costs only.
