FTP 100: An Ultra-High Speed Data Transfer Service Over Next Generation 100 Gigabit Per Second Network

摘要

Data-intensive applications, including high energy and nuclear physics, astrophysics, climate modeling, nano-scale materials science, genomics, and financing, are expected to generate exabytes of data over the coming years, which must be transferred, visualized, and analyzed by geographically distributed teams of users. High-performance network capabilities must be available to these users at the application level in a transparent, virtualized manner. Moreover, the application users must have the capability to move large datasets from local and remote locations across network environments to their home institutions. To support these data-intensive distributed applications, a significant amount of work has been done to accelerate data transfer over high-speed networks.
