Use Multi thread when transferring an object

I have a dedicated network for using S3.

When i have to transfer a hudge file the transfer took a long time and doesn't fully utilize the dedicated network.

The idea is to use multi threading when the customer had big file to transfer.

    .Unfortunately, due to the design of S3 objects, it is not possible to send different parts of an object at the same time. (Objects are immutable and if you want to update a part of an object, it must be replaced in whole.) Additionally, z/OS data sets make it almost impossible to accurately start reading from a particular byte offset. About the only place for improvement in throughput is implementing overlapped I/O so that the TCP/IP socket is always sending data.
    If you have a dedicated network, I would suggest sending the data using parallel jobs.
    Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss in more detail.
