In a global file system like the one which underpins Panzura's hybrid cloud file platform Panzura CloudFS, caches are often distributed across multiple nodes to enhance performance and redundancy.
SmartCache in Panzura CloudFS utilizes policies to optimize caching behavior, including the ability to pin data in the cache regardless of access frequency. Effective cache management is essential to maintain data consistency, minimize cache misses, and maximize cache utilization.
