2021年3月3日 · Intel Virtual RAID on CPU, or Intel VROC, is a hybrid RAID storage solution for NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) connected directly to Intel Xeon Scalable Processors via the PCIe expansion bus.

Supermicro PCI-E Add-On Card for Intel's Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) The Supermicro NMVe AOC-VROCxxxMOD is a hardware key that enables your Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor motherboard to unlock its Intel-based Hybrid RAID system.

2018年10月17日 · Virtual RAID on CPU, or Intel VROC for short, essentially allows the SSDs to have direct access to the CPUs, removing the need for an HBA entirely. This greatly simplifies both the data path and the components required to get the most out of NVMe SSDs in servers.

2023年1月17日 · Intel unexpectedly killed off its Virtual Raid on CPU (VROC) technology, but then changed course and decided to support the tech for the foreseeable future.

2023年1月8日 · Intel sold the VROC key as a way to build volumes without a traditional SAS/ SATA HBA. Here is Intel’s diagram on how this works: SATA SAS With HBA PCIe Only And Intel VROC And VMD. In order to have VROC work on a system, the requirements were something like: Intel Xeon Scalable (Skylake or newer) system with BIOS support for Intel VMD

VROC provides a compelling alternative way to RAID NVMe SSDs. Our goal is to migrate SSDs from the legacy SATA/SAS interfaces that were designed for much slower HDDs to the modern NVMe protocol.

Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) is a new enterprise RAID solution specifically designed for NVMe SSDs that provides expected reliability, while unleashing the performance of NVMe SSDs.

Intel® VROC software and drivers allow a user to create and manage bootable or data RAID on NVMe SSDs directly attached over PCIe to CPUs in supported Workstations. VROC does not recognize devices on PCIe slots connected to the . PCH. VROC is available as an option starting with HP Workstations, Z8 G4, Z6 G4, and Z4 G4. All VROC options except ...

2019年6月14日 · Intel® VROC provides compelling RAID performance that unleashes the full potential of NVMe drives, while eliminating the need for a discrete hardware RAID controller card. This reliable hybrid RAID solution is easy to scale with

2024年11月5日 · Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) brings enterprise-level RAID to your system without extra hardware. This technology lets you create fast and reliable storage arrays using NVMe SSDs connected directly to your CPU. VROC works with Intel Xeon Scalable processors. It uses a feature called Volume Management Device built into the CPU.
