Abstract

Providing access to a host for requested data in a data storage array includes transferring the requested data from a cache memory of the data storage array to either the host or a host adaptor if the requested data is in the cache memory, transferring the requested data from a relatively slow non-volatile memory of the data storage array to the cache memory and subsequently transferring the requested data from the cache memory to either the host or the host adaptor if the requested data is in the relatively slow non-volatile memory and transferring the requested data simultaneously to the cache and to either the host and the host adaptor if the requested data is stored in relatively fast non-volatile memory. Data may be transferred directly from the relatively fast non-volatile memory to the host. The relatively fast non-volatile memory may be controlled by the host adaptor.
