Intelligent Caching Modes & Options

Flash cache is more than just additional read cache memory
Caching mode options make it useful for more applications

3 modes of operation
Normal mode (default setting)
Caches both user and metadata extends main memory cache Used when one dataset is being actively read FlexShare option can exclude user data for specified volumes Preferentially caches only metadata Most useful when many datasets are being read simultaneously FlexShare option can include user data for specified volumes Caches user data, metadata, and data that is quickly ejected from main memory Useful with repeat sequential reads or when reading recently written data
