Abstract
The present invention discloses a scalable high-speed cache system in a storage network. It gives a solution to the bottleneck problem that the speed of seeking on the hard disk is slow, and realizes the high speed respondence to the input/output of the server. The present invention includes a high-speed cache system in a storage network which is constituted with at least one high-speed cache module which is connected to the network, a storage network manager constitutes with at least one storage network management module. The said storage network management module is constituted with hardware platform unit and software platform unit. The said hardware platform unit uses an embedded system platform or a server platform. The said high-speed cache system in a storage network is managed by the storage network manager, and it can be shared by the server and the disk storage system which is connected to the storage network.
