Abstract

The system and routine for data caching leverages the properties of Network-Attached Non-Volatile Memories (NANVMs) to provide virtualized secure node-local storage services to the network users with reduced data movement across the NANVMs. The caching routine reserves storage resources (storage partitions) on NANVM devices, migrates data required for the target application execution to the allocated storage partitions, and directs the network clients to dynamically “mount” to the storage partitions based on application data requirements. Only those clients and applications that present valid credentials and satisfactory computing capabilities can access the data in the specific storage partitions. Several clients can have an access to the same storage partitions without duplication or replicating the data. A Global Data Indexing sub-system supports the efficient operation of the subject system. The Global Data Indexing Sub-System provides mapping between the storage partitions, data sets, applications, client nodes, as well as their credentials/capabilities.
