Hybrid storage aggregate

A system for identifying randomly accessed data to store in a solid state storage device of a hybrid storage aggregate, comprising:

• an offset evaluation component configured to:
• identify block offsets of data blocks associated with a data I/O operation to determine an access pattern;
• and
• a data storage component configured to:
• responsive to the access pattern indicting that the data I/O operation randomly accesses the data blocks, store the data blocks onto a solid state storage device, at least some of at least one of the offset evaluation component or the data storage component implemented at least in part via a processor.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor implement a method for identifying randomly accessed data to store in a solid state storage device of a hybrid storage aggregate, comprising:

• upon detecting an occurrence of a consistency point:
• identifying access patterns for respective data I/O operations queued for processing, an access pattern comprising one or more block offsets with which a data I/O operation is to access;
• aggregating the access patterns to create an aggregated access pattern;
• responsive to the aggregated access pattern comprising a sequential access pattern, storing data blocks associated with the sequential access pattern onto a non-solid state storage device;
• and
• responsive to the aggregated access pattern comprising a random access pattern, storing data blocks associated with the random access pattern onto a solid state storage device.

A system for storing data within a hybrid storage aggregate comprising a solid state storage tier and a non-solid state storage tier, comprising:

• a write caching component configured to:
• identify a random write data I/O operation associated with a hybrid storage aggregate comprising a solid state storage tier and a non-solid state storage tier, the random write data I/O operation comprising writeable data;
• and
• store the writeable data onto the solid state storage tier;
• and
• a read caching component configured to:
• identify a random read data I/O operation for requested data stored on the non-solid state storage tier of the hybrid storage aggregate;
• retrieve the requested data from the non-solid state storage tier;
• and
• store a copy of the requested data as copied data onto the solid state storage tier, at least some of at least one of the write caching component or the read caching component implemented at least in part via a processor.
