Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) is an enterprise RAID solution that unleashes the performance of NVMe* SSDs. Intel® VROC is enabled by a feature in Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors called Intel® Volume Management Device (Intel® VMD), an integrated controller inside the CPU PCIe root complex. NVMe* SSDs are directly connected to the CPU, allowing the full performance potential of fast storage devices to be realized. Intel® VROC enables these benefits without the complexity, cost, and power consumption of traditional hardware RAID host bus adapter (HBA) cards placed between the drives and the CPU.

The following resources cover the Solid-State Drives (SSDs), Operating Systems (OSs), and configurations supported by Intel® VROC.

What you should know about the Intel® VROC package
  • System vendors may customize the Intel® VROC package for their specific platforms. Reference your OEM for a full list of available feature sets. If any of the information referenced here conflicts with the support information provided by the platform OEM, the platform documentation and configurations take precedence. Customers should always contact the place of purchase or the system/software manufacturer with support questions about their specific hardware or software configuration
  • The support guidance is dependent on the Intel® VROC package version being used. All support information is categorized by Intel® VROC version. Reference the information for the version you are using.
