Abstract

Methods and systems provided herein involve extracting an input/output (I/O) operation from a packet received over an I/O pipeline, the I/O operation comprising either a read request to read data from at least one storage device or a write request to write data to the at least one storage device; determining that an address associated with the I/O operation exists in a lookup table that is provided for thin provisioning of the at least one storage device; performing one or more RAID calculations associated with the at least one storage device based on the address and the I/O operation; and accessing the at least one storage device to perform the I/O operation based on the one or more RAID calculations; and second processing component configured to carry out a second set of operations that occur when the address associated with the I/O operation does not exist in the lookup table.
