I didn't realize that they have direct connections. The AWS data center down the street (Virginia) is directly connected to some google cloud datacenter? Sorry

I didn't realize that they have direct connections. The AWS data center down the street (Virginia) is directly connected to some google cloud datacenter? Sorry - I'm generally ignorant of datacenter technology.
So a back of envelope calculation says that it would take around 10 days to transfer 100 PiB over Gigabit ethernet. When you say immense, do you mean faster than that?
- dekhn 10y agoI would say at least multiple 10Gbit interfaces if you wanted to transfer the data.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoThey probably meet at some exchange very close to the DCs
- mikecb 10y agoGoogle's new NoVa DC will probably be in/around the equinix right down the street from AWS.
