      The catch 22 here is you need to transfer 100 petabytes of data per trip, ensure the data arrives in tack, and also enable prioritization of who gets data first along the route.

        I'm just guessing at multiplexed 40gb or 100gb connections that'll feed the storage, fast as the storage can ingest it.

          Only at 162000000 ms latency.

            At 1PB bandwidth. Fast, large, cheap and you get to pick two.

              But Amazon's argument here is that it is literally all 3.

              it's fast compared to uploading it (as it might take 14 days versus years), its cheap, cause a truck driver is cheaper than metered internet services at these scales, and its large 100 Petabytes. . .

              So yeah... all 3 is the argument here.

                I guess fast is relative. Getting 100PB uploaded to a cloud provider will probably never be what I consider fast 😛

                  Uploaded over your Internet connection, or uploaded by plugging in the data to a 18-wheeler hard drive? I mean its a time offset calculation.

                  Sending say 500TB over internet service to a cloud provider will take a very long time. Probably months. Whereas you could copy the data to this, and have it arrive and uploaded in a matter of weeks (14 days was the estimate from the article). That is was faster.

                    I did work with a major bank that determined that human runners going down the street with backpacks full of encrypted taped was the best way to get data from one location to another.
