Abstract
A computer program product provides a non-volatile computer readable medium and non-transitory program instructions embodied therein, where the program instructions are configured to be executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform various operations. The operations may comprise identifying a dataset that is being used by a first workload running on a first host server within a computing system and a second workload running on a second host server within the computing system, wherein each of the host servers within the computing system are connected for communication over a network including a network switch. The operations may further comprise identifying a data storage device that is directly attached to the network switch within the network, migrating the identified dataset to the identified data storage device, and causing the first and second workloads to send dataset access requests to the identified dataset on the identified data storage device.
