摘要： Techniques for using a cache to accelerate virtual machine (VM) I/O are provided. In one embodiment, a host system can intercept an I/O request from a VM running on the host system, where the I/O request is directed to a virtual disk residing on a shared storage device. The host system can then process the I/O request by accessing a cache that resides on one or more cache devices directly attached to the host system, where the accessing of the cache is transparent to the VM.

摘要： Techniques for surfacing host-side flash storage capacity to a plurality of VMs running on a host system are provided. In one embodiment, the host system creates, for each VM in the plurality of VMs, a flash storage space allocation in a flash storage device that is locally attached to the host system. The host system then causes the flash storage space allocation to be readable and writable by the VM as a virtual flash memory device.

摘要翻译： 提供了在主机系统上运行的多个虚拟机的主机侧闪存存储容量的技术。 在一个实施例中，主机系统为多个VM中的每个VM创建在本地连接到主机系统的闪存存储设备中的闪存存储空间分配。 主机系统然后使得闪存存储空间分配由VM作为虚拟闪存设备可读写。
