Solution brief CaSe Study Data Center Virtualization Challenge: Optimize Independent VM Workloads QEMU is an open-source machine emulator and machine virtualizer. Multiple virtual machines (VMs) often share the same physical storage devices, however, the workload each VM processes on those storage devices is independent. This presents a clear opportunity to optimize the storage workloads on a per-VM basis. Intel® CAS for QEMU Accelerates Workloads by Up to 4.1x 1 Intel® CAS for QEMU is a caching solution specifically designed for QEMU. Intel® CAS for QEMU creates an instance of the caching engine on a per-VM basis, separately caching the workload specific to each VM instance. Consequently, Intel® CAS for QEMU isolates a VM by preventing one VM from dominating another VM’s caching sp
