OPTIMIZING DATA TRANSFERS IN CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORMS

摘要

In various embodiments, methods and systems for optimizing data transfer are provided. Data transfer optimization is accomplished by a data transfer optimization server. A data transfer session is initiated. The initiation of the data transfer session comprises analyzing transfer parameters for one or more data-source devices. An optimum number of concurrent network calls is calculated for the data transfer session. The calculation is based on the data transfer parameters. At least a portion of the optimum number of concurrent network calls is allocated for executing the data transfer session. The transfer parameters are monitored for changes. The optimum number of concurrent network calls is updated for the data transfer session based on a triggering event associated with the data transfer session. Updating the optimum number of concurrent network calls comprises recalculating the optimum number of concurrent network calls based on the transfer parameters after the trigger event.
