Infinera's 100 Gigabit Ethernet Demo

no plan for 400 Gbps?

HDD bottlenecks only apply to situations with comparatively miniscule network and software buffers. If you want to transfer 100GB over a 100Gb/s network, it'll take you 8 seconds - if you're saying in those 8 seconds you can't store all 100GB at least -somehow- (even if half of it is stored in RAM for the next few seconds) then you're obviously talking theoretically and not practically.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! got to explode!

Completely Crazy, the bottleneck of the writeable media (hard drives) are just becoming more and more frustrating. It's all well and good sending 100Gb/s, but if you can't write the data that quick your just going to get a build up of packets and notice no difference from a 1/10Gigabit to a 1/10Terabit.

1Tbit/s will come in 2013, and then 10Tbit/s in 2015

@Gradius0 Yeah all we need now is some har drive/storage device that can write in 1TB/s or more..

[karlsruheprotestful]

@XxMEVANSxX Check out the Fusion IO Octal SSD drive array it reached 1TB/s

impressive!
