System and method for populating a cache using behavioral adaptive policies
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a tiered memory cache system to adaptively cache data at a standalone cache appliance to provide low-latency access in response to read and write requests using adaptive caching polices to automatically select one or more application data sets based on one or more conditions; and
a packet inspect module to inspect a read or write request sent using an Internet Protocol-based network protocol to determine when the request should be passed to the tiered memory cache system.

Abstract
A method, system and program are disclosed for accelerating data storage in a cache appliance cluster that transparently monitors NFS and CIFS traffic between clients and NAS subsystems and caches files using dynamically adjustable cache policies which populate the storage cache using behavioral adaptive policies that are based on analysis of clients-filers transaction patterns and network utilization, thereby improving access time to the data stored on the disk-based NAS filer (group) for predetermined applications.

9. A method for accelerating read and write requests, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a standalone cache appliance, a read or write request from a remote client to perform a specified data operation at one or more networked data storage devices; determining when the request can be serviced by a tiered cache memory system located at the standalone cache appliance; performing the specified data operation at the tiered cache memory system; and automatically controlling adaptive caching operations in the tiered cache memory system using adaptive caching polices to select one or more application data sets based on one or more conditions. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method of accelerating read and write requests comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:
-
receive, at a standalone cache appliance, a read or write request from a remote client to perform a specified data operation at one or more networked data storage devices; determine that the request can be serviced by a tiered cache memory system located at the standalone cache appliance; perform the specified data operation at the tiered cache memory system; and automatically control adaptive caching operations in the tiered cache memory system using adaptive caching polices to select one or more application data sets based on one or more conditions. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
