Multithreaded Upload with BigMIND

Definition

In BigMIND, a multithreaded upload refers to a method of uploading data to the cloud storage using multiple concurrent threads or connections. This approach allows for faster upload speeds by dividing the data into smaller chunks and uploading them simultaneously. Once all the chunks are uploaded, they are reassembled on the server side to reconstruct the original data.

Advantages

• Faster Backup: By uploading multiple chunks simultaneously, the overall backup process is expedited, especially for large datasets.
• Optimized Bandwidth: Multithreaded upload maximizes bandwidth usage by utilizing multiple connections, reducing the time required for data transfer.
• Fault Tolerance: If one thread encounters an error or interruption, the other threads can continue uploading, ensuring resilience against network issues.
• Scalability: This approach is scalable and can adapt to varying network conditions and bandwidth availability.

Overall, multithreaded upload is a crucial technique to efficiently and quickly transfer data to the BigMIND cloud, ensuring data protection and availability.
