Abstract
A system and method for reading files stored on a storage system is disclosed. The method includes communicatively coupling one or more remote systems for reading files stored in storage with a first set of files according to a predetermined data format and in a cache memory with a second set of files, the second set of files being a subset of the first set of files. Next one or more remote systems are received at least one read request for reading a sequence of files. A determination is made, among the files of the sequence of files, whether one or more cached files are already stored in the cache memory and whether one or more remaining files are not already stored in the cache memory. Creating, within the one or more remaining files, an order according to which the remaining files should be read on the storage system.
