Method and system for efficient servicing of storage access requests

A method for managing storage of data in composed information handling systems, comprising:

• obtaining a composition request for a composed information handling system;
• identifying at least one compute resource set having compute resources specified by the composition request;
• identifying at least one hardware resource set having hardware resources specified by the composition request, wherein the hardware resources comprise a local device for storing data and a local data processor adapted to service writes using the local device and at least one remote device;
• setting up storage management services for managing writes of data to the at least one hardware resource set using an at least one control resource set and the at least one compute resource set to obtain logical hardware resources, wherein:
• the local data processor is programmed to preferentially service the writes of the data using the local device rather than the at least one remote device;
• setting up the storage management services comprises:
• preparing at least one compute resource of the compute resource set to execute a target agent to perform storage management services based on storage information, wherein the at least one compute resource comprises the local data processor;
• and
• preparing the at least one control resource set to generate and maintain storage information associated with the at least one hardware resource set;
• the target agent is programmed to:
• obtain a storage request of data from an application of applications executing on the at least one compute resource set;
• in response to obtaining the storage request:
• obtain storage information associated with the at least one hardware resource set;
• identify a storage resource of the at least one hardware resource set to service the storage request;
• and
• write the data to the identified storage resource;
• and
• presenting the logical hardware resources using the at least one control resource set to the at least one compute resource set as bare metal resources to instantiate a composed information handling system to service the composition request.
