Abstract

A virtual machine cache provides for maintaining a working set of the cache during a transfer between virtual machine hosts. In response to the transfer, a previous host retains cache data of the virtual machine, which is provided to the new host of the virtual machine. The cache data may be transferred via a network transfer.
