Optimizing Storage Performance and Cost with Intelligent Caching
نویسنده
چکیده
NetApp is a pioneer in the development of innovative intelligent caching technologies to decouple storage performance from the number of disks in the underlying disk array to substantially improve cost. This white paper describes the NetApp® implementation of write caching using NVRAM as a journal, as well as a three-level approach to read caching that includes the system buffer cache, Flash Cache, and FlexCache®. These technologies yield significant performance and cost improvements for a wide range of real-world environments and applications.

How Much to Coordinate? Optimizing In-Network Caching in Content-Centric Networks
In content-centric networks, it is challenging how to optimally provision in-network storage to cache contents, so as to balance the trade-offs between the network performance and the provisioning cost. To address this problem, we first propose a holistic model for intra-domain networks to characterize the network performance of routing contents to clients and the network cost incurred by globa...
متن کاملOptimizing Hierarchical Storage Management For Database System
Caching is a classical but effective way to improve system performance. To improve system performance, servers, such as database servers and storage servers, contain significant amounts of memory that act as a fast cache. Meanwhile, as new storage devices such as flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) are added to storage systems over time, using the memory cache is not the only way to improve s...

متن کاملStorage-Aware Caching: Revisiting Caching for Heterogeneous Storage Systems
Modern storage environments are composed of a variety of devices with different performance characteristics. In this paper, we explore storage-aware caching algorithms, in which the file buffer replacement algorithm explicitly accounts for differences in performance across devices. We introduce a new family of storageaware caching algorithms that partition the cache, with one partition per devi...
متن کاملTowards Transparent Throughput Elasticity for IaaS Cloud Storage: Exploring the Benefits of Adaptive Block-Level Caching
Storage elasticity on IaaS clouds is a crucial feature in the age of data-intensive computing, especially when considering fluctuations of I/O throughput. This paper provides a transparent solution that automatically boosts I/O bandwidth during peaks for underlying virtual disks, effectively avoiding over-provisioning without performance loss. Our proposal relies on the idea of leveraging short...
