Are you seeking enhanced performance for server OEMs, storage systems, data centers and enterprise customers? The Adaptec® SmartRAID 4300 series of NVMe® RAID storage accelerators is a feature-rich, secure, RAID-enabled, high-performance Software-Defined Storage (SDS) solution for NVMe deployments. The accelerators are especially suited for modern AI data center environments where accelerating access to NVMe storage is critical for supporting demanding workloads and maximizing overall system performance.
Leveraging Microchip’s PCIe® storage controllers as the underlying hardware to provide a supporting role for CPU offload and RAID acceleration, the accelerators separate the storage software stack to utilize the expanded host PCIe infrastructure for optimized data flows and connectivity. The SmartRAID 4300 family takes a new approach to NVMe RAID by disaggregating Microchip’s Smart Storage platform into separate software and hardware components.
The Microchip Adaptec® SmartRAID 4300 NVMe® RAID storage accelerators took home the Nimbus Alliance Innovation Award for Best Storage System Innovation at CloudFest 2026. The SmartRAID 4300 family breaks the RAID bottleneck, allowing direct CPU to NVMe data paths while offloading parity and security to hardware for scalable performance.
