DISTRIBUTED CACHING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Example distributed caching systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a system has multiple host systems, each of which includes a cache resource that is accessed by one or more consumers. A management server is coupled to the multiple host systems and presents available cache resources and resources associated with available host systems to a user. The management server receives a user selection of at least one available cache resource and at least one host system. The selected host system is then configured to share the selected cache resource.

identifying, using one or more processors, a plurality of available host systems in a cluster; receiving a user selection of at least one available cache resource in the plurality of host systems; presenting the user with an option to operate a cache resource as a writethrough cache or a writeback cache; receiving a selected cache operating mode from the user; and responsive to user selection of a writeback cache operating mode:
automatically selecting at least one backup cache associated with the selected cache resource; andconfiguring the at least one backup cache.
