Example distributed cache systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a read call at a first call such that the read call identifies specific data. The method identifies multiple storage nodes and multiple connected clients based on information contained in a cache map. The first client sends the read call to the multiple storage nodes and the multiple connected clients. The method determines whether any of the connected clients has cached the specific data. If at least one of the connected clients has cached the specific data, the specific data is accessed from the connected client that has cached the data. If none of the connected clients has cached the specific data, the specific data is accessed from a storage system.

Grid distributed cache

Example data storage systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method identifies data to be written to a shared storage system that includes multiple storage nodes. The method communicates a write operation vote request to each of the multiple storage nodes. The write operation vote request is associated with a data write operation to write the identified data to the shared storage system. A positive response is received from at least a portion of the multiple storage nodes. The data write operation is initiated in response to receiving positive responses from a quorum of the storage nodes.
