Abstract:
Efficient communication between storage controllers can be performed. A storage system includes one or more backend switches that connect a first processor, a second processor, and one or more storage devices to each other. Each backend switch identifies a destination of a frame by referring to the frame received from the first processor. In a case where the destination of the frame is the second processor, each backend switch translates a first address, included in the frame, for specifying a location on the second memory in an address space of the first processor, into a second address for specifying the location on the second memory in an address space of the second processor, and transfers the frame including the second address to the second storage controller.

Claim (Index 3):
A storage system comprising:\n a first storage controller that includes a first processor and a first memory; a second storage controller that includes a second processor and a second memory; one or more storage devices; and one or more backend switches that connect the first processor, the second processor, and the one or more storage devices to each other, wherein each of the one or more backend switches\n receives a data transfer command including a fourth address for specifying a first location on the first memory in an address space of the first processor, a fifth address for specifying a second location on the second memory in the address space of the first processor, and a length of data to be transferred, from the first processor, \n translates the fifth address into a sixth address for specifying the second location on the second memory in an address space of the second processor, and \n transfers first data with the data length between the first location on the first memory and the second location on the second memory.
