Abstract: An architecture, including a file-level protocol, for supporting sparse volumes on a storage system is provided. The file-level protocol provides coherency checking for use in retrieving data stored on a backing store remote from a storage system.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于在存储系统上支持稀疏卷的架构，包括文件级协议。 文件级协议提供一致性检查，用于检索存储在远离存储系统的后台存储上的数据。

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides an apparatus for caching data in a network, with the apparatus including a proxy cache configured to receive request for an object from a client and to fetch data blocks from a server. The proxy cache may be configured to cache the data blocks in a hierarchical relationship within the object. The object may be, for example, a data file or a directory. The data blocks that are cached in the proxy cache define an active data set which is based upon a request from a client.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of transforming a request from a client to a proxy cache, the method comprising: receiving a request from a client, where the request is based upon a first open standard protocol; and translating the request from the first open standard protocol into a second open standard protocol at a file system level; and transmitting the request in the second open standard protocol to a server.
