Abstract
A storage product manufactured as a component to be installed in a computing device to provide network storage services. The storage product has a network interface to receive storage access messages from a remote host system, a bus connector connectable via an external computer bus to an external local host system, a local storage device, and a computational storage processor. The storage product is configured to: separate the storage access messages into first messages, second messages, and third messages; provide the first messages to an external local host system to generate fourth messages; and provide the second messages to the computational storage processor to generate fifth messages. To implement network storage services provided via the network interface, the local storage device executes commands in the third messages, the fourth messages from the local host system, and the fifth messages from the computational storage processor.
