Abstract: A Logically Composed System (LCS) data provisioning system includes an orchestrator device that includes a cache subsystem and that is coupled to client devices and storage subsystem(s). When the orchestrator device identifies that a first client device has exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s), it activates read data caching for the storage subsystem(s).
