I followed a tweet today that claimed that Cisco had created a router for “The next generation of video rich internet”.
Low and behold, the story led me to the page for the Cisco Carrier Routing System 3 (or CRS-3 for short), an industrious looking chassis with a capacity of 322Tbps. Watching the demo video they put the capacity into context by stating that it could “allow the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress to be downloaded in just over one second” (it did not mention how long it would take to first upload all this data though !!) or, for the non Americans among us, “allow every motion picture ever created to be streamed in less than four minutes.”
Wow !
Pricing starts at a mere $90,000.
Obviously I would love to have on for the home, but I am running a little short on cupboard space right now, and from the pictures and the video, it’s a big mutha :oO
