My various jobs in recent years is to run HPC data centres: a little while ago one with 12PB of total storage (along with lots of Ceph storage for ~300 on-prem, private cloud OpenStack instances), a more recent one had about a thousand GPUs (our power usage was high-five digit kWh each month).
Whenever I looked at our routers/firewalls, we never came close to saturating 10Gb/s even with all data sets we dealt with.
