Patent ID: 8595596

Claim:
A method for execution by a processing module of a computing device, the method comprises: receiving streaming data; partitioning the streaming data into a first data stream and a second data stream; for the first data stream: encoding, in accordance with error coding dispersed storage function parameters, the first data stream into a first plurality of sets of encoded data slices; determining first memory of a dispersed storage network (DSN) to store the first plurality of sets of encoded data slices; and facilitating storage of the first plurality of sets of encoded data slices in the first memory; and for the second data stream: encoding, in accordance with the error coding dispersed storage function parameters, the second data stream into a second plurality of sets of encoded data slices; determining second memory of the DSN to store the second plurality of sets of encoded data slices; and facilitating storage of the second plurality of sets of encoded data slices in the second memory.
