Abstract: Example methods and apparatus for data access are described. In one example, a memory expansion card receives a first data access request generated by a computing device based on an internal bus protocol. Then, the memory expansion card performs protocol conversion on the first data access request to obtain a second data access request in an external bus protocol format, where the external bus protocol includes a bus protocol for accessing external memory space of the computing device. Further, the memory expansion card accesses the external memory space based on the second data access request. The memory expansion card shields a difference between the bus protocols, and provides internal memory space for the computing device.

Abstract: In a data access method, a network device receives access requests sent by a plurality of clients connected to the network device, and sends the access requests to an access queue of a storage unit. The storage unit executes the access requests in the access queue, and returns processing results of the access requests of the plurality of clients. The network device returns the processing results that are of the access requests and that are returned by the storage unit to the clients corresponding to the access requests.
