A computing device includes a persistent storage and a processor. The processor includes a local storage. The local storage includes blocks and an address space. The address space includes a first portion of entries that specify blocks of the local storage and a second portion of entries that specify blocks of the remote data storage. The processor obtains data for storage and makes a determination that the data cannot be stored in the local storage. In response to the determination, the processor stores the data in the remote storage using the second portion of entries.
