Abstract: A network caching system has a multi-protocol caching filer coupled to an origin server to provide storage virtualization of data served by the filer in response to data access requests issued by multi-protocol clients over a computer network. The multi-protocol caching filer includes a file system configured to manage a sparse volume that "virtualizes" a storage space of the data to thereby provide a cache function that enables access to data by the multi-protocol clients. To that end, the caching filer further includes a multi-protocol engine configured to translate the multi-protocol client data access requests into generic file system primitive operations executable by both the caching filer and the origin server.

Abstract translation: 网络缓存系统具有耦合到原始服务器的多协议缓存文件管理器，以响应于多协议客户端通过计算机网络发出的数据访问请求，提供由文件管理器服务的数据的存储虚拟化。 多协议缓存文件管理器包括被配置为管理“虚拟化”数据的存储空间的稀疏卷从而提供能够由多协议客户端访问数据的高速缓存功能的文件系统。 为此，缓存文件管理器还包括多协议引擎，其被配置为将多协议客户端数据访问请求转换为可由缓存文件管理器和原始服务器两者执行的通用文件系统原始操作。

The multi-protocol caching filer includes a file system configured to manage a sparse volume that 'virtualizes' a storage space of the data to thereby provide a cache function that enables access to data by the multi-protocol clients. To that end, the caching filer further includes a multi-protocol engine configured to translate the multi-protocol client data access requests into generic file system primitive operations executable by both the caching filer and the origin server.
