Abstract:
Described is an improved storage architecture. In a particular aspect an improved storage architecture with increased throughput to Ethernet storage modules due to elimination of data path handling from a main control CPU is set forth. Other method and apparatus are described therein, including a scalable Ethernet storage module particularly suited for usage with the improved storage architecture described herein.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of reading digital data from a storage array system to an external environment, the method comprising the steps of:\n receiving a read request at the storage array system, the storage array system including a storage processing unit and a central processing unit; determining, using the central processing unit, to allow a read sequence, wherein the central processing unit issues a read command to the storage processing unit, the write command including a hash identifying a logical unit number of a particular one of a plurality of ethernet storage modules into which to read the digital data from; issuing, from the storage processing unit, a read request to a particular one of a plurality of ethernet storage modules based upon the hash; at the particular one of the plurality of ethernet storage modules, reading the digital data from a persistent flash memory, including the step of reading the digital data from a persistent flash memory using the ESM processor into a protected DRAM using a specific logical block address identifying the location where the digital data had been previously written; reading the digital data from the protected DRAM, through the ESM processor and into a read buffer memory that is coupled to the storage processing unit and is not coupled to the central processing unit; and reading the digital data from the buffer memory associated with the storage processing unit to the external environment.
