CACHE MANAGEMENT IN A HYPERCONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE

A method for cache management in a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). The HCI includes a plurality of physical nodes (PNs). The method includes receiving a primary plurality of input/output (I/O) requests at a plurality of virtual machines (VMs), allocating a plurality of local caches (LCs) and a plurality of remote caches (RCs) to the plurality of VMs, receiving a secondary plurality of I/O requests at the plurality of VMs, and serving the secondary plurality of I/O requests. Each of the plurality of VMs runs on a respective corresponding PN of the plurality of PNs. The plurality of LCs and the plurality of RCs are allocated based on the primary plurality of I/O requests. The secondary plurality of I/O requests is served based on the plurality of LCs and the plurality of RCs.
