Abstract

A data storage controller providing network attached storage and storage area network (17) functionality comprising a network processor and providing for volume management (preferably one or more of mirroring, RAID5, and copy on write backup), caching of data stored, protocol acceleration of low level protocols (preferably one or more of ATM, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Infiniband, Serial SCSI, Serial ATA, and any other serializable protocol), and protocol acceleration of higher level protocols (preferably one or more of IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, RDMA, RPC, security protocols, preferably one or both of IPSEC and SSL, SCSI, and file system services, preferably one or both of NFS and CIFS).
