Abstract
In a data storage network, a data storage transfer is initiated over a communications link between a source endpoint and a storage endpoint. The data storage transfer is configured to transmit at least one data object from the source endpoint to the storage endpoint using a first transfer technology protocol of a plurality of transfer technology protocols supported by the storage endpoint. The source endpoint monitors at least one network performance parameter associated with the communication link between the source endpoint and the storage endpoint. During transfer of the at least one data object, the source endpoint automatically switches from the first transfer technology protocol to a second transfer technology protocol based, at least in part, on a result of the monitoring.
