Abstract
Embodiments for managing data transfers by one or more processors are described. A signal is caused to be sent between a first computing system and a second computing system. Data is stored on at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system. During at least one first portion of the signal, information associated with the storage of the data on the at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system is transferred between the first computing system and the second computing system. During at least one second portion of the signal, at least some of the data is transferred between the first computing system and the second computing system.
Claims21
A method, by one or more processors, for managing data transfers, comprising:
- causing a signal to be sent between a first computing system and a second computing system, wherein data is stored on at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system;
- during at least one first portion of the signal, transferring information associated with the storage of the data on the at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system between the first computing system and the second computing system;
- and
- during at least one second portion of the signal, transferring at least some of the data between the first computing system and the second computing system.
A system for managing data transfers, comprising:
- at least one processor that
- causes a signal to be sent between a first computing system and a second computing system, wherein data is stored on at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system;
- during at least one first portion of the signal, transfers information associated with the storage of the data on the at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system between the first computing system and the second computing system;
- and
- during at least one second portion of the signal, transfers at least some of the data between the first computing system and the second computing system.
A computer program product for managing data transfers by one or more processors, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion that causes a signal to be sent between a first computing system and a second computing system, wherein data is stored on at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system;
- an executable portion that, during at least one first portion of the signal, transfers information associated with the storage of the data on the at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system between the first computing system and the second computing system;
- and
- an executable portion that, during at least one second portion of the signal, transfers at least some of the data between the first computing system and the second computing system.
