Abstract
A server supporting the implementation of virtual machines includes a local memory used for caching. During I/O intensive processes, a “content aware” cache filter component of the server first accesses a cache structure in a content cache device to determine whether data blocks have been stored in the cache structure prior to requesting the data blocks from a networked disk array via a standard I/O stack of the hypervisor.
