iSeries SNA over TCP IP AnyNet support

Hi! I have 2 iSeries(os 6.1) in different data centers .  Speed of file transfer is about 200 mbit per sec. through 1000Gb adapter when I send 1 file by 1 batch job (SBMJOB CMD(SAVRSTOBJ OBJ(SAVFILE) LIB(SAVLIB) RMTLOCNAME(SYSTEM1)) ). The transfer speed grows to 800 mbit per sec. when I send 5 files in the same time  by 5 batch jobs through 1000Gb adapter. Why speed so little in the firs case? May be SNA has any limitations speed for transfer 1 file?

Some 20 basic disks can feed gigabit. Typical iSeries has more of them.

You can name splitting data set into pieces in modern posh name = MapReduce ;)
A single big SAVF isn't likely to be split up evenly over 20 disk units, and since it is a non-database object it will probably be paged in using a single process unless you create some custom code, or cache it in memory ahead of time.

This isn't a data set in the sense used in talking about MapReduce - it is an archive file.  MapReduce isn't going to be much help with raw transfer of a big archive.  Really just need a good parallel transfer mechanism, hopefully reading underlying data from RAID array(s) with plenty of disk arms.
You can try pure tcp ftp if it is about a file alone, maybe it is a bit faster than SNA (at least one indirection less in any case)
