Abstract

A storage management device includes a plurality of I/O processing modules for accessing units of storage by specifying an address and a time. The I/O processing modules receive I/O requests, classify I/O requests, and extract I/O control information associated with the I/O requests. The extracted I/O control information is processed and at least one physical store is communicated with in response to the processed I/O control information.
