You remove network as a bottleneck for insertion of data…

SSIS Processing Tips: Bulk Insert many files to a database
In the process of building a set of SSIS packages that would process an immense amount of data, below are some learnings that have been determined in the process. The context of these tips is to build a set of packages that would bulk insert many files into a SQL database.
