A bit late but for the average (small, let’s say) data center that isn’t interested, then he’s offering a valid (if not unlikely) solution right?

- KaiserPro 4y agoI'm not sure. Having run a smaller datacenter (~2 megawatts) We got far more bang for our buck by upgrading the core switch fabric and moving to dual 40gig(from dual 10 gig) ethernet for the "heavy" nodes. Sure it cost more in terms of capex, but once it was installed we didn't need to change anything else. The cost of having an engineering team porting mission critical stuff to a new transport mechanism would have been astronomical, not only in opex, but in lost capacity to do other business critical tasks.
