Abstract

The present embodiments describe systems and methods for a dynamically updated user data cache for persistent productivity. In an embodiment, the system includes caching mechanism optimized to support user productivity in the case of a primary storage failure. For example, an embodiment of a method includes establishing a cache for caching user data in a persistent data storage device that is accessible by a first operating system and a second operating system. The method may also include identifying a set of user data to be stored in the cache. Additionally, the method may include storing the set of user data into the cache. The method may also include accessing the set of user data stored in the cache with the second operating system in response to the first operating system being in a degraded condition.
