Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for enhanced access to storage data based on a collaboration data proxy system are provided. A plurality of metadata tables on one or more peer nodes are referenced for data corresponding to a data request of a requesting node. The metadata tables indicate availability of chunks of data in the one or more peer nodes. A determination is made that the data corresponding to the data request is downloadable from the one or more node; the determination is based on the metadata tables. A download operation configuration instance is generated for a data request of a requesting node. The download operation configuration instance comprises configuration settings for downloading data corresponding to the data request from the one or more peer nodes. The chunk of data is downloaded from the corresponding one or more peer nodes where the chunk is located, using the configuration settings.

Abstract: 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.
