Abstract:
Disclosed is a coherent storage system. A network interface device (NIC) receives network storage commands from a host. The NIC may cache the data to/from the storage commands in a solid-state disk. The NIC may respond to future network storage command by supplying the data from the solid-state disk rather than initiating a network transaction. Other NIC's on other hosts may also cache network storage data. These NICs may respond to transactions from the first NIC by supplying data, or changing the state of data in their caches.
