Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) Processors Support List
Environment
Intel® VROC
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 the 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.
Intel® VROC has a hardware dependency on the Intel® Xeon® feature Intel® VMD. Therefore, Intel® VROC is only supported on CPUs with Intel® VMD technology. The below set of Intel® Xeon® processor families support Intel® VROC and Intel® VMD. Keep in mind the following considerations while navigating through the supported processors list below.
What you should know about the Intel® VROC supported processors
- The below list identifies the processors that support Intel® VROC with Intel® VMD, but this functionality must be enabled by the OEM/ODM at the platform level. Just because a processor from one of these families is used does not guarantee that the platform supports Intel® VROC with Intel® VMD. Confirm the support with the platform provider.
- All SKU levels on -SP include Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.
- All SKU levels on -AP include Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.
