N1 - Funding Information:
The authors would like to express our best thanks to Prof. Hiraki and the lab staffs of the University of Tokyo with their helpful supports for the network performance tests. Our gratitude are also due to Drs. D. Schissel and G. Abla of GA, USA for preparing the test environments for Japan–US tests. This work is performed with the support and under the auspices of the NIFS Collaboration Research program ( NIFS10ULHH006 , NIFS11KUTR062 , NIFS11KUGM052 ), and is also supported by Japan/U.S. Cooperation in Fusion Research and Development.

N2 - "Fusion virtual laboratory (FVL)" is the experiments' collaboration platform covering multiple fusion projects in Japan. Major Japanese fusion laboratories and universities are mutually connected through the dedicated virtual private network, named SNET, on SINET4. It has 3 different categories; (i) LHD remote participation, (ii) bilateral experiments' collaboration, and (iii) remote use of supercomputer. By extending the LABCOM data system developed at LHD, FVL supports (i) and (ii) so that it can deal with not only LHD data but also the data of two remote experiments: QUEST at Kyushu University and GAMMA10 at University of Tsukuba. FVL has applied the latest "cloud" technology for both data acquisition and storage architecture. It can provide us high availability and performance scalability of the whole system. With a well optimized TCP data transferring method, the unified data access platform for both experimental data and numerical computation results could become realistic on FVL. The FVL project will continue demonstrating the ITER-era international collaboration schemes and the necessary technology.
