Abstract
A method comprises, at a network adapter of a first device, detecting a write request for storing data in a storage device of the first device, and the write request comprises a first indication for a first storage address of the data in the storage device. The method also comprises, in response to detecting the write request, storing the data at a second storage address in a memory of the network adapter. The method further comprises, storing the first indication in association with a second indication for the second storage address in the memory to enable the storage device to obtain the data. With the above method, by processing and storing data via the controller and the memory of the network adapter, not only a waste of the processor and the memory of the first device is reduced, but also latency of processing commands is decreased.
