Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for communicating large amounts of data. A system can first receive a request for data and determines if the data requested is above a threshold size. If the data is above the threshold size, the system can then prepare a message containing header information following a standard file transfer protocol. The system can also prepare metadata indicating a storage location and a size of the data requested. The message and the metadata can then be separately communicated to the requester. Upon receiving the metadata, a data stream can initiate the transfer of the data from the storage location to the requester, where the data stream removes unnecessary or redundant header information during the transfer from the storage location.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for isolating mirroring operations when interacting with a data storage space, and more specifically to directing data to be stored in two locations, where storing the data in the second location does not slow or impede storing the data in the first location. Upon receiving a request to store data, the system can determine a first storage space and a second storage space in which to store the data. Instructions can be prepared for storing the data in the first storage space while at the same time preparing instructions for storing identical data in the second storage space. The system can communicate the instructions to both storage systems, with the first storage space immediately beginning the storage process while the second storage space places the instructions into a queue for later processing.
