Intel Virtual RAID on CPU Premium - RAID 0/1/5/10-aktivering

Today's data hungry business processes need access to data quicker than ever. Quicker access to data means faster decision making, better productivity, and quicker ROI on IT infrastructure. Therefore, Enterprise data storage solutions are migrating to higher bandwidth and lower latency NVMe -based SSDs to address the performance bottlenecks of legacy SATA/SAS interfaces. With this transition, enterprises also require RAID data protection for NVMe SSDs.

Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel VROC), a new enterprise RAID solution specifically designed for NVMe SSDs, provides expected reliability while unleashing the performance of NVMe SSDs. This is enabled by a new feature in next-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors called Intel Volume Management Device (Intel VMD), an integrated controller inside the CPU PCIe root complex. Because the NVMe SSDs are directly connected to the CPU, the full performance potential of reduced latency and increased bandwidth can be realized. Intel VROC enables this benefit without the complexity, cost, and power consumption of traditional hardware RAID host bus adapter (HBA) cards placed between the drives and the CPU.
