System, method, and device for uploading data from premises to remote computing environments

A method for ingesting data files into remote computing environments, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of data files;
• processing the plurality of data files according to a modified round-robin process, the modified round-robin process assigning data files for processing by:
• determining which of a plurality of remote processors are active;
• determining an amount of queued processing for the active remote processors;
• and
• assigning each data file of the plurality of data files to a remote processor of the plurality of remote processors based on the remote processor (1) being active, (2) having a lower amount of queued processing relative to other processors of the active remote processors, and (3) being a less expensive processor relative to other processors of the active remote processors, wherein processing new data files is delayed in response to (1) no currently active remote processors having capacity to process the new data files, and (2) a number of the new data files being below a minimum threshold for activating inactive remote processors;
• and
• instructing a storage writer to store processed data files.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for ingesting data files into remote computing environments, the computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for:

• receiving a plurality of data files;
• processing the plurality of data files according to a modified round-robin process, the modified round-robin process assigning data files for processing by:
• determining which of a plurality of remote processors are active;
• determining an amount of queued processing for the active remote processors;
• and
• assigning each data file of the plurality of data files to a remote processor of the plurality of remote processors based on the remote processor (1) being active, (2) having a lower amount of queued processing relative to other processors of the active remote processors, and (3) being a less expensive processor relative to other processors of the active remote processors, wherein processing new data files is delayed in response to (1) no currently active remote processors having capacity to process the new data files, and (2) a number of the new data files being below a minimum threshold for activating inactive remote processors;
• and
• instructing a storage writer to store processed data files.
