Abstract: In a data transfer device that communicates with a communication device via a network, the storage controller controls reading data from and writing data to a plurality of storages. The correspondence information manager manages correspondence information manager to manage correspondence information between data written by the storage controller and a storage to which the data is written. The storage manager manages an invalid storage being a storage that the storage controller failed to read or write data. The communicator receives an acquisition request message for data from the communication device. The specifier specifies a storage storing the data requested, according to the correspondence information. The reader requests the storage controller to read the data from the storage specified by the specifier when the storage does is not the invalid storage, and not to request the storage controller to read the data when the storage is the invalid storage.

Abstract: A storage device includes a storage unit, an interface that is physically connectable to a network, and a controller. The controller is configured to establish a first logical communication path via the interface in a first communication software layer, through which data is read from and stored in the storage unit, and a second logical communication path via the interface in a second communication software layer higher than the first communication software layer, through which meta information for controlling access to the storage unit is communicated.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data storage device includes: a first hardware storage device; a second hardware storage device in which write is done by an integer multiple size of a predetermined size. The data storage device writes data into the first hardware storage device in response to a write instruction of data having expiration information. The data storage device manages data management information including: the expiration information of data written into the first hardware storage device; and a storage location of the data. The data storage device selects, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a plurality of pieces of data in the first hardware storage device based on temporal proximity among pieces of the expiration information, reads out the pieces of data from the first hardware storage device, and writes the pieces of data into the second hardware storage device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a data transferring apparatus to communicate with a communicating apparatus through a network in accordance with a predetermined protocol, including: a writing controller and a transmission controller. The writing controller performs control of writing a first response message containing first data to a storage. The transmission controller performs control of reading the first response message from the storage and transmitting the first response message to the communicating apparatus, upon receiving a data acquisition request message for the first data from the first communicating apparatus.
