    Abstract: A data access system has host computers having front-end controllers nFE_SAN connected via a bus or network interconnect to back-end storage controllers nBE_SAN, and physical disk drives connected via network interconnect to the nBE_SANs to provide a distributed, high performance, policy based or dynamically reconfigurable, centrally managed, data storage acceleration system. The hardware and software architectural solutions eliminate BE_SAN controller bottlenecks and improve performance and scalability. In an embodiment, the nBE_SAN (BE_SAN) firmware recognize controller overload conditions, informs Distributed Resource Manager (DRM), and, based on the DRM provided optimal topology information, delegates part of its workload to additional controllers. The nFE_SAN firmware and additional hardware using functionally independent and redundant CPUs and memory that mitigate single points of failure and accelerates write performance. The nFE_SAN and FE_SAN controllers facilitate Converged I/O Interface by simultaneously supporting storage I/O and network traffic.

    Abstract: A Storage Area Network (SAN) system has host computers, front-end SAN controllers (FE_SAN) connected via a bus or network interconnect to back-end SAN controllers (BE_SAN), and physical disk drives connected via network interconnect to the BE_SANs to provide distributed high performance centrally managed storage. Described are hardware and software architectural solutions designed to eliminate I/O traffic bottlenecks, improve scalability, and reduce the overall cost of SAN systems. In an embodiment, the BE_SAN has firmware to recognize when, in order to support a multidisc volume, such as a RAID volume, it is configured to support, it requires access to a physical disk attached to a second BE_SAN; when such a reference is recognized it passes assess commands to the second BE_SAN. Buffer memory of each FE_SAN is mapped into application memory space to increase access speed, where multiple hosts share an LBA the BE_SAN tracks writes and invalidates the unwritten buffers.

    Abstract translation: 存储区域网络（SAN）系统具有通过总线或网络互连连接到后端SAN控制器（BE_SAN）的主机，前端SAN控制器（FE_SAN）以及通过网络互连连接到BE_SAN的物理磁盘驱动器，以提供 分布式高性能集中管理存储。 描述了旨在消除I / O流量瓶颈，提高可扩展性以及降低SAN系统总体成本的硬件和软件架构解决方案。 在一个实施例中，BE_SAN具有用于识别何时为了支持多盘卷（例如RAID卷）而被配置为支持的固件，其需要访问附接到第二BE_SAN的物理盘; 当识别出这样的参考时，它将评估命令传递给第二BE_SAN。 每个FE_SAN的缓冲存储器映射到应用程序存储器空间以增加访问速度，其中多个主机共享一个LBA，BE_SAN跟踪写入并使未写入的缓冲区无效。
