Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to optimizing the storage of data in a multi-cache level environment. In one aspect, data is classified into primary and secondary cache sections. Data is differentiated based on an inherent sharing characteristic of the data within a system comprising virtual machines. The data is then placed into the classified sections of the cache storage layer and/or persistent data, reflective of how the data is shared among virtual disk images access by virtual machines.
