The UltraIO system eliminates the painful limitations of RAID – Idle Hot Spares, Urgently Failed Drive Replacements, and long build times – to deliver infinite performance and resilience
Nyriad, Inc. announced today the all-new UltraIO storage system, with the processing power of GPUs and advanced algorithms to deliver infinite performance, resilience and efficiency with low total cost of ownership. The UltraIO system supports block, file, and object data types in a single system, giving organizations the flexibility to consolidate storage and extend the system quickly and easily as dictated by needs. In addition, the UltraIO system runs on industry-standard hardware so that the system’s capabilities improve as technologies become available. Combined with simplified management, these attributes allow organizations to install, manage, and non-disruptively scale the UltraIO system.
The UltraIO system, launched today, is a block storage system that uses the most advanced, high-capacity hard drives. Organizations are now free to take advantage of the superior capacity, performance, durability, and power efficiency of these hard drives, without the long build-up times and associated performance degradation that are common with today’s RAID-based storage systems.
The UltraIO system is ideal for data-intensive applications such as high-performance computing, media and entertainment, and backup and archiving.
“RAID simply did not keep up with the growing capacity of hard drives,” said Kevin Moran, Chief Executive Officer of System Fabric Works. “Build-up times continue to increase dramatically and with the associated performance degradation are now beyond what HPC can tolerate. We provide technology services to organizations implementing advanced HPC systems, so we are very interested in ways to help our customers improve their HPC deployment. D ‘UltraIO system is a breakthrough technology that addresses this issue, using the most efficient high-capacity hard drives that resist various errors without data loss or performance degradation.

“As a company that provides highly innovative marketing services to clients worldwide, it’s time to deliver our demanding challenge,” said David Hellie, Digital Image’s Chief Executive Officer. “To continuously accelerate our passage, we are constantly looking for better strategies and higher performance in everything we do. Dissatisfaction with our current storage solutions has led us to Nyriad. Our goal was to store more onsite data and large quantities of real-time 8K Digital Video and volume of 3D CAD data to serve dramatically faster.Through the breakthrough performance provided by the UltraIO system, together with the super support team at Nyriad, we have achieved this goal.The resulting workflow improvements are much more reliable than we have ever been We were also able to consolidate three storage systems, including an entire Flash array, into a single UltraIO storage system.
To achieve their performance and resilience goals, organizations can configure UltraIO systems to provide the desired amount of failure resilience. For example, an UltraIO system with 200 18 terabytes (TB) drives configured at 20 parity writes continuously at 18 gigabytes per second (GB / s) and reads at 18 GB / s. Configured this way, if 20 of the 200 drives fail at the same time, it would continue to work with only 5% performance degradation.
“Nyriad is dedicated to solving the biggest pain points of storage, many of which arise from the limitations of RAID,” said Derek Dicker, Chief Executive Officer of Nyriad. RAID has been the de facto standard for storage for more than three decades, but the demands of today’s data-intensive applications now exceed its capabilities. With the UltraIO system, Nyriad has built a new foundation for storage that addresses current issues and create new opportunities for the future – without requiring organizations to make necessary changes to their storage infrastructure.
