Abstract
Described is a system for cloud-based scheduling of data operations to an object storage. The system may include a server that acts as an intermediary between a client device and an object storage that stores client data. Requests by the client device to manage data on the object storage may be routed through the server. In response, the server may execute corresponding data operations directly on the object storage. The server may manage bandwidth limits for operation requests to an object storage by maintaining a specialized operation pool. The operation pool may be configured to manage operation-specific queues, and these operation-specific queues may include sub-operations (or threads) that are executed on the object storage. Sub-operations of various types of operations may be initiated for concurrent execution on the object storage based on scheduling information derived from the operation pool.
