Idea for copying large amounts of data quickly

This is just me thinking allowed. I need to transfer 200GB data from one data center to another in close to real time. Traditionally I would just use scp to copy it over but I was just thinking (and probably a bit out of my depth here) that it will be limited generally by the speed at which ack's etc are sent back.

So my thought was that if you could get say 3 or 4 data channels working you should see a faster throughput that a single scp channel. Am I thinking along the right lines or should I just go back to what I know?
