摘要： Systems and methods for storage operations are provided. As an example, a method includes configuring a non-volatile memory of a network device to be used as a storage device for storing data for an application; generating a logical storage object for the application for using storage space at the non-volatile memory of the network device to store data for the application, where the network device creates a unique identifier for the logical storage object; identifying the logical storage object as a mirror logical storage object such that data written at the non-volatile memory device is mirrored by another network device operating as a peer to the network device; providing the unique identifier to the other network device for generating a mirror logical storage object for mirroring data that is stored at the non-volatile memory; receiving a request at the network device for writing data to the non-volatile storage object; writing data at the non-volatile memory of the network device when the request identifies the network device; and mirroring the data at the other network device, when the request indicates that the data needs to be mirrored.
