Abstract

See full text

A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support a plurality of value-added services for storage operations on a plurality of remote storage devices virtualized as extensible/flexible storages and NVMe namespace(s) via an NVMe controller in real time. First, the NVMe controller virtualizes and presents the remote storage devices to one or more VMs running on a host attached to the NVMe controller as logical volumes so that each of the VMs running on the host can perform read/write operations on the emote storage devices as if they were local storage devices. The NVMe controller then monitors and meters the resources consumed by the activities/operations by the VMs to the virtualized remote storage devices as well as the data being transmitted during such operations in real time and creates analytics for billing purposes. In addition, the NVMe controller performs one or more of crypto operations, checksum operations, and compression and/or decompression operations on the data written to and/or read from the remote storage devices by the VMs as part of the value-added services to improve security, integrity, and efficient transmission of the data.
