Abstract

A processing device receives an input/output (I/O) command generated by a process, the I/O command directed to a virtual storage provided to a host executing the process, wherein the virtual storage comprises a virtual non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drive. The processing device generates a new I/O command based on the received I/O command and encapsulates the new I/O command into a message. The processing device sends the message to at least one of a remote NVMe storage device or a storage server comprising one or more remote NVMe storage devices.
