    Abstract: Apparatus and method for servicing data transfer commands in a computer environment using a selected protocol such as NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express). In some embodiments, a secure connection is established between a client device and a bridge device across an interface. A controller of the bridge device presents a unitary namespace as an available memory space to the client device. The controller further communicates with a plurality of downstream target devices to allocate individual namespaces within main memory stores of each of the target devices to form a consolidated namespace to support the unitary namespace presented to the controller. In this way, the bridge device can operate as an NVMe controller with respect to the client device for the unitary namespace, and as a virtual client device to each of the target devices which operate as embedded NVMe controllers for the individual namespaces.

    Abstract: A data storage system can have one or more hosts connected to a data storage subsystem with the host having a host processor and the data storage subsystem having a controller. Write back data generated at the host triggers the host processor to allocate a cache location in the data storage subsystem where the generated data is subsequently stored. The generated write back data is written in a non-volatile destination address as directed by the controller prior to waiting for a secondary event with the generated data stored in both the cache location and the non-volatile destination address. Detection of the secondary event prompts the controller to signal the host processor that the cache location is free for new data.
