Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a data storage access device. The device comprises at least one data storage access unit. Each data storage access unit comprises a server node, a switching module and at least one storage module, wherein the switching module comprises an uplink PCIe interface and a plurality of downlink PCIe interfaces, the switching module is connected with the server node through the uplink PCIe interface and connected with at least one storage module through the downlink PCIe interfaces; the at least one storage module is distributed around the switching module and can achieve independent hot plug. The switching modules are additionally arranged between the server nodes and the storage modules, and the number of the storage modules which can be accessed by the server nodes is expanded; when the switching module or the storage module corresponding to one certain server node needs to be replaced, the storage module and the switching module can be independently plugged without being powered off, access of other server nodes to the storage modules supported by the server nodes is not interrupted, and maintainability is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of storage technologies, and in particular, to a data storage access device. Background technique [0002] In current network application scenarios, high-speed peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard proposed by Intel in 2001. PCIe belongs to high-speed serial point-to-point dual-channel high-bandwidth transmission. The connected devices allocate exclusive channel bandwidth and do not share bus bandwidth. It mainly supports functions such as active power management, error reporting, and end-to-end reliable transmission. [0003] The Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) standard is a storage controller interface standard developed for enterprises and general client systems that use PCIe solid-state storage devices. The memory under the NVMe architecture can improve performance and can Reduced latency by more than 50%, and greatly reduc...
