Technologies are described herein for accelerating the boot process of client computers by consolidating client-specific boot data in a data storage system. Boot statistics are collected for a number of client computers booting from virtual storage volumes provided by the data storage system. The boot statistics are analyzed to identify client-specific boot data stored on each of the virtual storage volumes, and the client-specific boot data is consolidated and copied into contiguous regions of a single, consolidated boot volume in the data storage system. Requests for read operations from the client computers for the client-specific boot data are then redirected to the consolidated boot volume, increasing boot performance for the client computers.
A computer-implemented method for accelerating a boot process of one or more client devices booting from corresponding virtual storage volumes in a data storage system, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a storage system computer, cause the storage system computer to:
A data storage system comprising:
