Abstract
A method for caching reads in a data replication environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving a read request at a primary site of a data replication environment. The method executes the read request at the primary site. In the event data associated with the read request is not already cached at the primary site, the method stores the data in cache at the primary site. The method also notifies a secondary site of the read request at the primary site. This notification may be sent synchronously or asynchronously as time and resources allow. In the event the data is not already cached at the secondary site, the method stores the data in cache at the secondary site. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
