Do you know that the massive Hadron Collider at CERN has already produced 100 petabytes of information that had to be sent out to labs internationally for analysis? Pushing that quantity of data around the Internet is a gargantuan task, that is why Caltech teamed up with the schools of Victoria, Michigan and Florida (International) amongst others to aim and break the web speed record. Using commercially available gear (including Dell servers with SSDs), it was ready to push 98Gbps and pull 88Gbps down a single 100Gbps fibre-optic connection between the Washington State convention center in Seattle and the University of Victoria computing center in British Columbia. Head on past the break for a video that shows you ways it was done and why it probably won’t be commercially available in time to super-size your Netflix queue.
