Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) User Guide for Windows*
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 user guide provides the information required to manage RAID volumes from the Intel® VROC Graphical User Interface (GUI) application for Windows*, including:
- Product overview and functionality
- Installation process
- RAID managing
- Troubleshooting
