Abstract
A cluster compute server stores different types of data at different storage volumes in order to reduce data duplication at the storage volumes. The storage volumes are categorized into two classes: common storage volumes and dedicated storage volumes, wherein the common storage volumes store data to be accessed and used by multiple compute nodes (or multiple virtual servers) of the cluster compute server. The dedicated storage volumes, in contrast, store data to be accessed only by a corresponding compute node (or virtual server).
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A server, comprising:
- a first storage volume and a second storage volume, wherein:
- in response to a first read request from a first compute node targeted to a first location of the first storage volume, the first storage volume provides data at the first location to the first compute node;
- and
- in response to a first write request from the first compute node targeted to the first location of the first storage volume, the second storage volume writes data to a second location of the second storage volume.
A server, comprising:
- a common storage volume;
- a plurality of storage volumes;
- and
- a plurality of compute nodes, each of the plurality of compute nodes to:
- retrieve a first type of data from the common storage volume;
- and
- store modifications of the first type of data at corresponding different ones of the plurality of storage volumes.
A method comprising:
- in response to a first read request from a first compute node targeted to a first location of a first storage volume, providing data at the first location to the first compute node;
- and
- in response to a first write request from the first compute node targeted to the first location of the first storage volume, writing data of the first write request to a second location of a second storage volume.
