Abstract
Provided are systems and methods for a storage adapter device for communicating with network storage. In some implementations, the storage adapter device comprises a host interface. In these implementations, the host interface may be configured to communicate with a host device using a local bus protocol. In some implementations, the storage adapter device also includes a network interface. In these implementations, the network interface may communicate with a network using a network protocol. In some implementations, the storage adapter device may be configured to communicate with a remote storage device. In some implementations, the storage adapter device may also be configured to translate a request from the host interface from the local bus protocol to the network protocol. The storage adapter device may further be configured to transmit the translated request to the remote storage device.
