Patent ID: 11768599

Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a method to manage an enterprise data storage system, the method including: dividing storage disks of the enterprise data storage system into multiple virtual storage subsystems, wherein each virtual storage subsystem hosts a non-overlapping subset of the storage disks, and wherein each virtual storage subsystem includes a level-2 cache memory dedicated thereto; establishing a communication path between the level-2 cache memory dedicated to each virtual storage subsystem and a main cache of the enterprise-level data storage system; and maintaining a copy of transaction data from the non-overlapping subset of the storage disks hosted by each virtual storage subsystem in the level-2 cache memory dedicated thereto such that when the main cache searches for the copy of the transaction data, the main cache fetches, over the communication path, the copy of the transaction data from the level-2 cache memory of the virtual storage subsystem.
