A target data processing method comprises: in response to receiving, from a client, a request for processing target data, obtaining, at a server and from a storage device, the target data, the target data being predetermined to be obtained by the client from the storage device and a first set of operations being predetermined to be performed on the target data; and processing, at the server, the target data by performing the first set of operations on the target data such that at least one dedicated processing resource of the server performs, on the processed target data, a second set of operations associated with the first set of operations. As such, the data moving path may be shortened significantly, the network traffic pressure may be reduced significantly, the efficiency of the target data processing system may be improved, and moreover, the number of dedicated processing resources in the server may be easily scaled.
