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 13):
The storage system according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the one or more backend switches include a first backend switch that is provided with a first switch, a second switch, and a first address translation unit which connects the first switch to the second switch, and a second backend switch that is provided with a third switch, a fourth switch, and a second address translation unit which connects the third switch to the fourth switch, wherein each of the one or more storage devices includes two or more ports, wherein the first storage controller is connected to an Upstream Port of each of the first switch and the third switch, wherein the second storage controller is connected to an Upstream Port of each of the second switch and the fourth switch, wherein each of the first address translation unit and the second address translation unit performs address translation between the address space of the first processor and the address space of the second processor, wherein a first port of each of the one or more storage devices is connected to a Downstream Port of one of the first switch and the second switch, and wherein a second port of each of the one or more storage devices is connected to a Downstream Port of one of the third switch and the fourth switch.
