Abstract
In general, embodiments of the technology relate to writing data to storage appliances. More specifically, embodiments of the technology are directed to writing data to storage media using a push-based mechanism in which clients provide the data to write to the storage media and then subsequently provide a command to write the data to the storage media.
Claims20
A method for writing data by a storage appliance, comprising:
- receiving a data packet comprising data from a client;
- in response to receiving the packet, creating a temporary buffer binding between a physical buffer location and a virtual buffer location associated with the data packet;
- and
- storing the data in the physical buffer location.
1 more element
A storage appliance, comprising:
- a fabric;
- a storage module controller comprising a physical buffer pool and operatively connected to the fabric and programmed to:
- receive a data packet comprising data from a client;
- in response to receiving the data packet, create a temporary buffer binding between a physical buffer location and a virtual buffer location associated with the data packet, wherein the physical buffer location is in the physical buffer pool;
- and
- store the data in the physical buffer location.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions to:
- receive a data packet from a client;
- in response to receiving the data packet, create a temporary buffer binding between a physical buffer location and a virtual buffer location associated with the data packet;
- and
- store the data in the physical buffer location.
