US Patent 10542333 Technologies for a low-latency interface to data storage

Technologies for a low-latency interface with data storage of a storage sled in a data center are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a storage sled stores metadata including the location of data in a storage device in low-latency non-volatile memory. When accessing data, the storage sled may access the metadata on the low-latency non-volatile memory and then, based on the location determined by the access to the metadata, access the location of the data in the storage device. Such an approach results in only one access to the data storage in order to read the data instead of two.
