AOC-VROCPREMOD

AOC-VROCPREMOD is a dedicated hardware module intended to activate Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) capabilities on supported systems. It is used in environments that require high-throughput, low-latency storage based on NVMe SSDs directly connected to the CPU.

By enabling VROC, the module allows the creation and management of RAID arrays without relying on traditional host bus adapters. This can help reduce bottlenecks, improve I/O efficiency, and optimize the use of PCIe-connected NVMe drives in professional infrastructures.

• CPU-attached NVMe RAID enablement – unlocks the ability to configure RAID arrays using NVMe SSDs connected directly to the processor, minimizing protocol overhead and latency.
• Optimized for demanding workloads – suitable for use cases such as data-intensive applications, virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing where storage throughput is critical.
• Infrastructure simplification – helps reduce dependence on separate RAID controllers, contributing to a more streamlined architecture and potentially lower points of failure.
• Scalable configuration – supports flexible NVMe layouts, allowing administrators to tailor RAID levels and drive groupings to workload, performance, or redundancy requirements, depending on platform support.
• Centralized management – intended to work with platform-specific VROC management tools, simplifying monitoring and configuration of NVMe RAID volumes.

As a specialized activation key, the AOC-VROCPREMOD is typically deployed in servers or workstations that are already prepared for Intel VROC functionality. It is aimed at IT professionals and system integrators who need deterministic performance characteristics and fine-grained control over NVMe storage resources.

Before implementation, verify platform compatibility, supported RAID levels, and licensing conditions for Intel VROC to ensure that the module aligns with your hardware and workload requirements.
