Storage acceleration devices for disaggregated storage acceleration

Abstract

Techniques for disaggregated storage acceleration are disclosed. A storage acceleration device offloads data plane operations from a host device. The storage acceleration device includes a transport acceleration system and a payload acceleration system. The transport acceleration system offloads, from the host device, transport operations such as encapsulating a payload into a transport message or decapsulating a transport message into a payload. The payload acceleration device offloads payload operations from the host device. The payload operations may include translating the payload from a fabric storage format to a local storage format. By offloading data plane operations from the host device, the storage acceleration device frees computing resources of the host device.
