Intel Virtual RAID on CPU

On November 17, 2025, Graid Technology officially executed the licensing agreement for Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC). This agreement represents a significant milestone in the company’s strategic development and marks the beginning of a new chapter within the global ecosystem built upon Intel® VROC technology.

 

Intel® VROC is an enterprise RAID solution that unleashes the performance of NVMe SSDs, 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. 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.
