Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention receive I/O commands expressed in either vendor-specific or non-vendor-specific protocols and normalize them into a common format for execution by different memory devices. Embodiments of the present invention identify these I/O commands using parameters common to both types of protocols. In this fashion, embodiments store normalized commands in data structures for execution by memory devices in which the normalized commands represent instructions for performing an action corresponding with execution of the original I/O command. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention save resources with respect to hardware and software maintenance costs.
