The present disclosure provides a data storage method and device. The data storage method includes: receiving data by a simulating device from a client operating system; encapsulating the data in a user space of a host system according to a protocol used by a storage server; and sending the encapsulated data to the storage server for storage. The method can realize storing data in the storage server, thereby shortening the I/O path, improving the I/O throughput of a system, reducing the CPU load, and optimizing the system performance.
