Fast, reliable, and efficient data transmission across wide-area networks isa predominant bottleneck for data-intensive cloud applications. This paperintroduces OneDataShare, which is designed to eliminate the issues plaguingeffective cloud-based data transfers of varying file sizes and acrossincompatible transfer end-points. The vision of OneDataShare is to achievehigh-speed data communication, interoperability between multiple transferprotocols, and accurate estimation of delivery time for advance planning,thereby maximizing user-profit through improved and faster data analysis forbusiness intelligence. The paper elaborates on the desirable features ofOneDataShare as a cloud-hosted data transfer scheduling and optimizationservice, and how it is aligned with the vision of harnessing the power of thecloud and distributed computing. Experimental evaluation and comparison withexisting real-life file transfer services show that the transfer throughoutachieved by OneDataShare is 6.5 times greater.
