Frequently Asked Questions
What is HPE Intel VROC RAID 1 E-RTU?
It is an electronic right-to-use license subscription from HPE that enables Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) for RAID 1 mirroring. This allows your server's CPU to manage data redundancy without a dedicated hardware RAID controller.
What is RAID 1 mirroring?
RAID 1 mirroring duplicates data across two drives. If one drive fails, the other drive contains an exact copy of the data, allowing your system to continue operating without data loss.
What are the benefits of using software-based RAID?
Software-based RAID, like Intel VROC, can reduce hardware costs as it doesn't require a separate RAID controller card. It leverages existing CPU resources for RAID management, offering a more economical solution for basic redundancy needs.
