Technologies for accelerating data writes

One or more computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a managed node, cause the managed node to:

• receive, through a network interface controller of the managed node, a write request from a remote device, wherein the write request includes a data block;
• write the data block to a power loss protected buffer of the network interface controller;
• send, in response to receipt of the data block and prior to a write of the data block to a non-volatile memory of the managed node, an acknowledgement to the remote device, wherein the acknowledgement is indicative of a successful write of the data block to the non-volatile memory;
• and
• write, after the acknowledgement has been sent, the data block from the power loss protected buffer to the non-volatile memory.

A method for accelerating data writes, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a managed node through a network interface controller of the managed node, a write request from a remote device, wherein the write request includes a data block;
• writing, by the managed node, the data block to a power loss protected buffer of the network interface controller;
• sending, by the managed node, in response to receipt of the data block and prior to a write of the data block to a non-volatile memory of the managed node, an acknowledgement to the remote device, wherein the acknowledgement is indicative of a successful write of the data block to the non-volatile memory;
• and
• writing, by the managed node after the acknowledgement has been sent, the data block from the power loss protected buffer to the non-volatile memory.
