Abstract
A network bandwidth architecture controls data transfers between a life science service provider, a local network data repository, and a remote data repository. The data transfers may include patient data and patient metadata that are analyzed by a bioinformatics system of the life science service provider.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining metadata corresponding to an amount of data;
- based on an amount of memory storage space at a storage device to store at least a portion of the metadata being at least a threshold amount of memory storage space, generating a first bandwidth modification request to modify an allocation of network resources from a first amount of network resources to a second amount of network resources for a defined time period, the second amount of network resources corresponding to (i) a minimum transfer rate of at least a portion of the metadata, (ii) transfer of at least the portion of the metadata or a portion of the amount of data in less than a threshold amount of time, or (iii) or a combination thereof;
- causing at least the portion of the metadata and/or at least the portion of the amount of data to be transferred to the storage device while the second amount of network resources is allocated during the defined time period, wherein the portion of the amount of data is less than an available amount of memory storage space;
- and
- responsive to completion of the transfer of the amount of data, generating a second bandwidth modification request to modify the allocation of network resources from the second amount to the first amount.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable apparatus comprising a storage medium, the storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions configured to, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- obtain metadata corresponding to an amount of data;
- based on an amount of memory storage space at a storage device to store at least a portion of the metadata being at least a threshold amount of memory storage space, generate a first bandwidth modification request to modify an allocation of network resources from a first amount of network resources to a second amount of network resources for a defined time period, the second amount of network resources corresponding to (i) a minimum transfer rate of at least a portion of the metadata, (ii) transfer of at least the portion of the metadata or a portion of the amount of data in less than a threshold amount of time, or (iii) or a combination thereof;
- cause at least the portion of the metadata and/or at least the portion of the amount of data to be transferred to the storage device while the second amount of network resources is allocated during the defined time period, wherein the portion of the amount of data is less than an available amount of memory storage space;
- and
- responsive to completion of the transfer of the amount of data, generate a second bandwidth modification request to modify the allocation of network resources from the second amount to the first amount.

A non-transitory computer-readable apparatus comprising a storage medium, the storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions configured to, when executed by one or more processor apparatus, cause a computerized apparatus to:
- obtain metadata corresponding to an amount of data;
- based on an amount of memory storage space at a storage device to store at least a portion of the metadata being at least a threshold amount of memory storage space, generate a first bandwidth modification request to modify an allocation of network resources from a first amount of network resources to a second amount of network resources for a defined time period, the second amount of network resources corresponding to (i) a minimum transfer rate of at least a portion of the metadata, (ii) transfer of at least the portion of the metadata or a portion of the amount of data in less than a threshold amount of time, or (iii) or a combination thereof;
- cause at least the portion of the metadata and/or at least the portion of the amount of data to be transferred to the storage device while the second amount of network resources is allocated during the defined time period, wherein the portion of the amount of data is less than an available amount of memory storage space;
- and
- responsive to completion of the transfer of the amount of data, generate a second bandwidth modification request to modify the allocation of network resources from the second amount to the first amount.
