Using Cloud Computing to Accelerate Large Spatial Data Sharing

Abstract

Attempting to share or access spatial data across the Internet proves to be a frustrating and time-consuming experience. To provide a âlocal-likeâ performance, a WAN/cloud-optimized protocol known as âCloudJetâ developed at our lab was used as the underlying multi-stream/multi-path engine. The results demonstrate that it's capable to deal with long-distance, cross-domain spatial data access and transfer up to several times
