Abstract
Improved approaches to manage cache data for applications operating in a data center environment are disclosed. Data requests incoming over a network are able to be responded to by an application in a consistent and rapid manner through intelligent management of cache data. When like applications are being concurrently operated, such as at a data center, cache data established by one application can be made available for use by another like application. As a result, cache data available to a given application is more likely to be useful to the application, particularly when the application has just been started (or restarted).
