Abstract:
A data server, a host adapter system for the data server, and related operating methods facilitate data write and read operations for network-based data storage that is remotely coupled to the data server and for non-network-based data storage in a locally attached cache device. The host adapter system includes a local storage controller module and a network storage controller module. The local storage controller module is utilized for a locally attached, nonvolatile, write-through cache device of the data server. The network storage controller module is utilized for a network-based data storage architecture of the data server. The storage controller modules support concurrent writing of data to the local cache storage and the network-based storage architecture. The storage controller modules also support reading of server-maintained data from the local cache storage and the network-based storage architecture.
