Abstract
Methods and systems for managing storage of data in a distributed system are disclosed. To manage storage of data in a distributed system, a data processing system may include a network interface controller (NIC). The network interface controller may present emulated storages that may be used for data storage. The emulated storage devices may utilize storage resources of storage devices. Overtime, the data stored in various data storages may be migrated between the data storages. To migrate the data, the NIC may manage the migration process. To do so, the NIC may obtain various access requests (e.g., writes, reads) and process them in a manner that allows for the migration to be transparent. By doing so, migrations that are transparent to compute resources of data processing systems may be completed.
