Abstract:
Techniques for using a cache to accelerate virtual machine (VM) I/O are provided. In one embodiment, a host system can intercept an I/O request from a VM running on the host system, where the I/O request is directed to a virtual disk residing on a shared storage device. The host system can then process the I/O request by accessing a cache that resides on one or more cache devices directly attached to the host system, where the accessing of the cache is transparent to the VM.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for using a cache to accelerate virtual machine (VM) I/O, the method comprising:\n intercepting an I/O request from a VM running on a host system, the I/O request being directed to a virtual disk residing on a shared storage device; and processing the I/O request by accessing a cache that resides on one or more cache devices directly attached to the host system, the accessing of the cache being transparent to the VM.
