A database proxy includes a computing device and a hardware-accelerated database proxy module. The computing device includes one or more processors, memory, a first bus interface, and a network interface coupling the database proxy to one or more networks. The database proxy module includes a second bus interface coupled to the first bus interface via one or more buses, and a request processor. The database proxy is configured to receive a database read request from a client via the one or more networks and the network interface; forward the database read request to the request processor using the one or more buses; process, using the request processor, the database read request; and return results of the database read request to the client. In some embodiments, the computing device or the database proxy module further includes a flash memory interface for accessing one or more flash memory devices.
