A flexible storage system. A storage motherboard accommodates, on a suitable connector, a storage adapter circuit that provides protocol translation between a host bus interface and a storage interface, and that provides routing, to accommodate a plurality of mass storage devices that may be connected to the storage adapter circuit through the storage motherboard. The storage adapter circuit may be replaced with a circuit supporting a different host interface or a different storage interface.

Multi-protocol IO infrastructure for a flexible storage platform

A computing system providing high-availability access to computing resources includes: a plurality of interfaces; a plurality of sets of computing resources, each of the sets of computing resources including a plurality of computing resources; and at least three switches, each of the switches being connected to a corresponding one of the interfaces via a host link and being connected to a corresponding one of the sets of computing resources via a plurality of resource connections, each of the switches being configured such that data traffic is distributed to remaining ones of the switches through a plurality of cross-connections between the switches if one of the switches fails.

Adaptive multipath fabric for balanced performance and high availability

A method of transferring data to an end user via a content distribution network using an nonvolatile memory express over fabrics (NVMe-oF) device, the method including receiving a read request at the NVMe-oF device, translating a logical address corresponding to the data to a physical address, fetching the data from a flash storage of the NVMe-oF device, processing the data with a GPU that is either embedded in the NVMe-oF device, or on a same chassis as the NVMe-oF device, and transferring the data.

System and method for supporting energy and time efficient content distribution and delivery

A system is disclosed. An upstream interface enables communication with a processor; a downstream interface enables communication with a storage device. The system may also include an acceleration module implemented using hardware to execute an acceleration instruction. The storage device may include an endpoint of the storage device for communicating with the acceleration module, a controller to manage operations of the storage device, storage for data, and a storage device acceleration module to assist the acceleration module in executing the acceleration instruction.

SSD architecture for FPGA based acceleration

Embodiments of the inventive concept include solid state drive (SSD) multi-card adapters that can include multiple solid state drive cards, which can be incorporated into existing enterprise servers without major architectural changes, thereby enabling the server industry ecosystem to easily integrate evolving solid state drive technologies into servers. The SSD multi-card adapters can include an interface section between various solid state drive cards and drive connector types. The interface section can perform protocol translation, packet switching and routing, data encryption, data compression, management information aggregation, virtualization, and other functions.

Solid state drive multi-card adapter with integrated processing

A system is disclosed. The system may include a processor running an application program and a memory storing data being used by the application program. An upstream interface enables communication with the processor; a downstream interface enables communication with a storage device. The system may also include an acceleration module implemented using hardware and including an Acceleration Platform Manager (APM-F) to execute an acceleration instruction. The storage device may include an endpoint of the storage device for communicating with the acceleration module, a controller to manage operations of the storage device, storage for application data for the application program, and a storage device Acceleration Platform Manager (APM-S) to assist the APM-F in executing the acceleration instruction. The processor, the acceleration module, and the storage device may communicate via a Peripheral Component Interconnect Exchange (PCIe) bus. The acceleration module may support performing the acceleration instruction on the application data on the storage device for the application program without loading the application data into the memory.
