Abstract
A method for data storage includes, in a system that includes multiple servers, multiple multi-queue storage devices and at least one storage controller that communicate over a network, running, in a server among the servers, multiple data-path instances (DPs) that operate independently of one another and issue storage commands for execution in the multi-queue storage devices. The storage commands, issued by the multiple DPs running in the server, are multiplexed using an Input-Output Multiplexer (I/O MUX) process. The multiplexed storage commands are executed in the multi-queue storage devices.
