In an embodiment, a mapping method of an accelerated application-oriented middleware layer is provided. The method includes, using a first mapper, determining for an input output operation whether a data storage location has been designated for storing a corresponding data in a virtual storage object, the input output operation involving the corresponding data. The method further includes, using the first mapper and at least one processor, acquiring the virtual element identification of the corresponding data. The method also includes, using the virtual element identification and the corresponding data, performing the input output operation.
