Abstract
In one general embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving at a first system a request for data, searching one or more local buffers within the first system for the requested data, determining whether the requested data is located within an additional buffer of an additional system in communication with the first system, in response to determining that the one or more local buffers within the first system do not contain the requested data, receiving the requested data by the first system from the additional buffer of the additional system, in response to determining that the requested data is located within the additional buffer of the additional system, and retrieving the requested data from a data disk within the first system, in response to determining that the requested data is not located within the additional buffer of the additional system.
