Fast, reliable, and efficient data transmission across wide-area networks is a predominant bottleneck for dataintensive cloud applications. This paper introduces OneDataShare, which is designed to eliminate the issues plaguing effective cloud-based data transfers of varying file sizes and across incompatible transfer end-points. The vision of OneDataShare is to achieve high-speed data communica...

This report presents results of the tests measuring the performance of multi-threaded file transfers, using the GridFTP implementation of the Globus project over the NorduGrid network resources. Point to point WAN tests, carried out between the sites of Copenhagen, Lund, Oslo and Uppsala, are described. It was found that multiple threaded download via the high performance GridFTP protocol can s...
