Patent ID: 11822816

Abstract:
A networking device/storage device direct write system includes a chassis that houses a Solid State Drive (SSD) storage device coupled to a Smart Network Interface Controller (SmartNIC) networking device. The SmartNIC networking device receives data via a network, stores the data in a SmartNIC buffer memory subsystem that is included in the SmartNIC networking device, and then perform a Direct Memory Access (DMA) operation to transfer the data stored in the SmartNIC buffer memory subsystem to an addressable memory subsystem that is included in the SSD storage device. If the addressable memory subsystem in the SSD storage device is a volatile memory subsystem, the SmartNIC networking device then transmits a persistent storage instruction to the SSD storage device that causes the SSD storage device to transfer the data stored in the addressable memory subsystem to a persistent memory subsystem in the SSD storage device.
