A network interface controller (NIC) for use in a server controlling a plurality of storage devices provides remote access to a plurality of clients each accessing one or more storage devices of the plurality of storage devices. The NIC is configured to receive from at least a client device an input/output (I/O) request for a storage device of the plurality of storage devices and store the I/O request in a secondary memory thereof. The I/O request is sent to the storage device and a response respective of the I/O request intended for the primary processing unit of the server is received by the NIC. The client device is sent an indication that the I/O request is completed. In some exemplary embodiments, the NIC determines if the client device has appropriate I/O permissions to access a specific data block.
A network interface controller (NIC) for use in a server controlling a plurality of storage devices, the NIC comprising:
A computerized method for providing a client device remote access to a server controlling a plurality of storage devices, by a network interface controller (NIC) comprising a secondary processing unit, a first memory and a second memory, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute a method for providing a client device remote access to a server controlling a plurality of storage devices, by a network interface controller (NIC) comprising a secondary processing unit, a first memory and a second memory, the method comprising:
