Abstract
It is detected that a metric associated with a first workload has breached a first threshold. It is determined that the first workload and a second workload access the same storage resources, wherein the storage resources are associated with a storage server. It is determined that the metric is impacted by the first workload and the second workload accessing the same storage resources. In response to a determination that the metric is impacted by the first workload and the second workload accessing the same storage resources, a first virtual cache appliance is instantiated and one of the first workload or the second workload is routed through the virtual cache appliance. Routing one of the first workload or the second workload through the first virtual cache appliance causes the first virtual cache appliance to cache data associated with the storage resources.
