Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for utilizing additional and available system resources to cache one or more incoming I/O write requests. A storage processor may implement a policy including a Backend as a Service (BEaaS) to use a node pair backend, a fabric network, and other resources to absorb incoming bursts of I/O write requests from a host and direct the requests temporarily to NVMe storage devices. The policy may further use local and/or remote storage arrays connected over the fabric to alleviate strain on local processing resources. The policy may provide for using cut-through writes, including for example, dual-cast operations over PCIe connections, to send I/O requests directly to the NVMe storage devices.
