Accelerated data handling in cloud data storage system

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• maintaining a data segment in an allocated memory block of a smart network interface card coupled to a node of a data storage cluster;
• and
• handling an input-output request corresponding to the data segment from the allocated memory block without copying the data segment from the allocated memory block of the smart network interface card identification to a kernel space of the node, wherein the input output request comprises a write request to write the data segment to the data storage cluster, and wherein the handling of the input-output request comprises determining mirroring nodes of the data storage cluster, and copying the data segment to the mirroring nodes of the data storage cluster.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a smart network interface card, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• dividing available memory space of the smart network interface card coupled to a node of a data storage cluster into memory blocks for data segments;
• receiving a first read request for a first data object comprising a first plurality of data segments and a second read request for a second data object comprising a second plurality of data segments;
• obtaining the first plurality of the data segments from one or more nodes of the cluster and queuing the first plurality of the data segments in a first ordered queue using a first set of blocks of the smart network interface card, in which an ordering of the first ordered queue is based on first sequence numbers respectively associated with the first plurality of the data segments;
• obtaining the second plurality of the data segments from the one or more nodes of the cluster and storing the second plurality of the data segments in a second ordered queue using a second set of blocks of the smart network interface card, in which an ordering of the second ordered queue is based on second sequence numbers respectively associated with the second plurality of the data segments;
• responding to the first read request by sending data from the first queue;
• and
• responding to the second read request by sending data from the second queue.
