Abstract
A storage virtualization controller for transferring data between a host and a storage device at a wire-speed data transfer rate. A downstream processing element adapted for connection to the storage device is configurable coupled to an upstream processing element adapted for connection to the host. A central processing element coupled to the upstream processing element grants permission to the upstream processing element to transfer the data at the wire-speed rate without further involvement by the central processing element.
