Cisco Announces the CRS-3… 322 Tbps Speeds

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Sean Vosler in Before Oct 2010
Cisco announced  new technology that sounds like its going to be taking the internet to the next level.  Just as the design revolution known as ‘web 2.0′ enabled users to contribute content as well as view content, this new ‘hardware 2.0′ development will be taking us to the next level in productivity and inovation.
Yes hard drive speeds will need to catch up with this new network speed (322 Terabytes Per Second), but  lets assume by the time this network is implemented that computer’s have caught up. Imagine if you could access any information in the world of virtually any size and complexity in seconds.  With this You could download all of the Library of Congress in just over one second, you could stream every motion picture ever created in less than four minutes. Have a few seconds with this connection and you could download Ancestry.com’s 600TB collection of data.
It enables the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress to be downloaded in just over one second; every man, woman and child in China to make a video call, simultaneously; and every motion picture ever created to be streamed in less than four minutes.

All this being noted, it’d still take over 31 years at this speed to download all the data moved over the internet… Just for this year.
