Abstract
Aspects of the invention include receiving a request to transfer data from a first storage device, coupled to a sending server, to a second storage device, coupled to a receiving server. The data is transferred from the first storage device to the second storage device in response to the request. The transferring includes allocating a first temporary memory on the sending server and moving the data from the first storage device to the first temporary memory. The transferring also includes initiating a remote direct memory access (RDMA) between the first temporary memory and a second temporary memory on the second server. The RDMA causes the data to be transferred from the first temporary memory to the second temporary memory independently of an operating system executing on a processor of the sending server or the receiving server. The transferring further includes receiving a notification that the transfer completed.
