FPGA NVMe RAID accelerator card

Product details

Product overview

On January 20, 2026, LUISUAN Technology officially released its independently developed blockbuster product-FPGA NVMe RAID accelerator card. This product is based on the company's independently developed LightBoat-2300 FPGA accelerator card platform, equipped with AMD Virtex UltraScale+ XCVU23P high-performance FPGA chip, and fully supports PCIe Gen4 high-speed interface, bringing an extremely fast and secure storage experience to key areas such as data centers, cloud computing, and financial technology.

Different from traditional software RAID and serial hardware RAID that rely on CPU computing power, this product uses pure FPGA hardware logic to implement IO command parsing processing and verification operation acceleration, reducing CPU occupancy to zero, allowing valuable computing resources to fully serve customer business applications.

System Architecture

The product adopts an innovative parallel hardware architecture and cooperates with the NVMe command and data separation transmission mechanism to significantly reduce data transfer links, greatly reduce transmission delays, and achieve the ultimate release of SSD performance.

Performance breakthrough

The innovative architecture adopted by this accelerator card has been authorized by the national invention patent (Patent No.: ZL 2024 1 1505866.8), which reflects the independent research and development capabilities of LUISUAN Technology in the field of hardware acceleration. The measured data is impressive:

• A RAID 5 array composed of 8 NVMe SSDs, the read and write bandwidth performance is more than 3-4 times that of traditional solutions
• IO latency only increases by about 8 microseconds compared to bare disk
• Under the configuration of 16 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs, the theoretical bandwidth can reach 128GB/s, far exceeding the 32GB/s limit of the traditional solution

Flexible configuration and enterprise-grade reliability

From the beginning of product design, we fully consider the diverse needs of enterprise-level applications:

• Fully supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and other levels, allowing users to flexibly balance performance and data security according to different scenarios.
• A single card supports up to 16 NVMe SSDs, and can later be upgraded to support 24 or even 32 SSDs.
• A single card supports the creation of 1-2 virtual disks, which are presented as standard NVMe devices and perfectly adapt to the operating system's native NVMe driver, plug and play.
• Adopts half-height, half-length AIC standard form, powered through PCIe slot, no need for external power cord, backup battery or supercapacitor
• No external hard disk interface cable is required, greatly simplifying deployment and maintenance complexity and reducing total cost of ownership.

Application Scenarios

With the comprehensive advantages of high performance, low latency and high energy efficiency ratio, this product shows great application potential in multiple key areas:

Autonomy, controllability and future planning

LUISUAN Technology has always adhered to the path of independent research and development of core technologies, and has complete source code-level development capabilities to ensure complete independent control of the technical route. Based on the current NVMe RAID Core core IP implemented in FPGA, LUISUAN Technology has the possibility of tapeout to ASIC chips, which will further reduce solution costs and power consumption and promote the popularization of products to a wider market.

The emergence of the LUISUAN FPGA NVMe RAID accelerator card not only completes the product matrix of LUISUAN Technology in the field of FPGA acceleration, but also brings a more efficient, safer and more reliable storage experience to enterprise customers, helping all walks of life to seize the opportunity in the wave of digitalization.
