Abstract:
1. A scalable high-speed cache system in a storage network, comprising: a high-speed cache system having at least one high-speed cache module connected to the storage network; a storage network manager having at least one storage network management module connected to the storage network; wherein said high speed cache module includes a hardware platform unit and a software platform unit, wherein said hardware platform unit is based on an embedded system platform or a server platform; wherein said high-speed cache system is managed by said storage network manager and is accessed by both servers and disk storage systems which are connected to the storage network wherein said storage network management module includes a data-flow controller unit, said data-flow controller unit decides a data flow direction according to a type of data access requests, said data flow controller unit includes a data transferring policy to interchange the data between the servers and the hiqh-speed cache system for Random data access requests and to interchange the data between the servers and the disk storage systems for continuous data access requests.
