Abstract
An object-based storage system comprising a host system capable of executing applications for and with an object-based storage device (OSD). Exemplary configurations include a call interface, a physical layer interface, an object-based storage solid-state device (OSD-SSD), and are further characterized by the presence of a storage processor capable of processing object-based storage device algorithms interleaved with processing of physical storage device management. Embodiments include a storage controller capable of executing recognition, classification and tagging of application files, especially including image, music, and other media. Also disclosed are methods for initializing and configuring an OSD-SSD device.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- a host system capable of executing applications, the host system comprising at least an OSD call interface;
- and
- at least one inter-system physical layer interface between the host system and an OSD-SSD device,
- wherein the OSD-SSD device has a storage processor capable of processing object storage device algorithms interleaved with processing of physical storage device management algorithms.
An apparatus comprising:
- a storage physical layer interface;
- a processor for processing a first set algorithms for physical storage device management interleaved with a second set of algorithms for OSD;
- and
- at least one solid-state non-volatile memory device.
