Intel® Storage Engines Improve Storage Performance, CPU Efficiency, and Throughput
Free up your CPUs for business-critical workloads while meeting growing storage demands, with built-in accelerators on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.1
Meet Increasing Storage Demands with Next-Generation Storage Capabilities
Store, move, and manage your data easier while freeing up your CPU for critical, demanding workloads, with Intel® Storage Engines available on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.
These built-in storage accelerators help reduce power consumption and deliver enhanced capabilities, such as on-the-fly compression and encryption, fast data movement, and integrated NVMe device control, at scale, for your enterprise, cloud, or edge storage.
How Your Business Benefits from Intel® Storage Engines
Increase Capacity and Performance
Offload ever-increasing storage functions from the CPU to preserve headroom for more-compute-intense workloads, boosting overall capacity and performance.
Eliminate I/O Bottlenecks and Latency
Avoid the inherent delays that occur when data is shuttled to discrete accelerators or external appliances by leveraging Intel® Storage Engines built directly into the CPU.
Reduce Complexity and Costs
Deliver storage workload acceleration in a single architecture, eliminating the need for additional hardware investments.
Simplify Workload Shifting
Shift workloads from the CPU to integrated accelerators faster and easier by making simple code changes, enabling drivers, and configuring BIOS settings.
Discover Intel® Storage Engine Accelerators
Intel® Storage Engines include several integrated accelerators to help you make your storage infrastructure faster, smarter, more effective, and less complex.
Encryption and Compression
Accelerate on-the-fly encryption and compression to free CPU cores for business-critical workloads.
Integrated NVMe Device Control
Seamlessly transition to NVMe storage while limiting the downtime of critical infrastructure. Unleash the performance of your NVMe storage solution with Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC), enabled by Intel® VMD.
Data Movement Acceleration
Move more data through the data path faster2 to accelerate reads, writes, and replication as well as increased CPU headroom for demanding workloads.
