Abstract: Caching storage segments (e.g., pages) loaded from a remote storage such that, during recovery, the cached loaded storage segments may be at least partially recovered without reloading the storage segments from the remote storage. During normal operation of a computing system, storage segments are loaded from remote storage into local memory of a computing system. At some point, either due to eviction of the storage segment due to aging out of the storage segment, or due to writing of the storage segment, it is determined to write at least some of the loaded storage segments into local persistent storage. In conjunction with this, the corresponding storage segment is written to a respective storage address of the local persistent storage. Also, a correlation between an identifier of the storage segment and the respective address in the persistent storage is recorded in a persistent data structure.

Abstract: A storage segment server environment that includes storage segment server(s) that cover a contiguous address space of data. The storage segment server has storage segments that are contiguous and that matches the address space of a respective of storage segments in the cloud store service. Thus, a read of the contiguous address spaces of the data from the cloud store service may instead be handled as a single read of the contiguous address space of the storage segment server. Each storage segment server(s) may be assigned to a range within the total contiguous address space of the data. Each storage segment server(s) includes a respective storage segment write component that is configured to perform write operations to storage segments in the respective storage segment server. Each storage segment server(s) also includes a respective cloud storage write component that initiates corresponding write operations to the cloud store service.
