 # M-Stream Usage Notes
+M-Stream is a File Fabric feature that speeds up the uploading, downloading and copying of very big files. Large files are split into pieces, sent in parallel over multiple streams, and reassembled back into a contiguous file or object at the target. In this way M-Stream maximizes network bandwidth, minimizes network latency, and increases resiliency, particularly for wide area networks.
+M-Stream is required to be activated by license key for the enterprise on-premises File Fabric. It is not available for the Software-as-a-Service hosted solution.
