Abstract
A network fabric storage system includes a chassis housing primary storage devices and one or more cache devices that re separate from each of the primary storage devices. A Link Control Card (LCC) is housed in the chassis and coupled to each of the primary storage devices and the cache device(s) via a mid-plane. The LCC includes a translation layer processor that receives first data from a host device, and processes the first data for storage in the cache device(s) such that the first data is stored in the cache device(s). The translation layer processor then determines that the first data should be stored in a first primary storage device and, in response, causes the first data to be moved from the cache device(s) to the first primary storage device such that the first data is stored in the first primary storage device.
