If you don't want to use the Avere CLFSLoad utility, or if you want to add a large amount of data to an existing Blob storage target, you can copy it through the cache. Azure HPC Cache is designed to serve multiple clients simultaneously, so to copy data through the cache, you should use parallel writes from multiple clients.

The ``cp`` or ``copy`` commands that you typically use to transfer data from one storage system to another are single-threaded processes that copy only one file at a time. This means that the file server is ingesting only one file at a time - which is a waste of the cache's resources.
