‘Delivering every movie made in 4 minutes’
p2pnet view P2P:- See how the new “Cisco CRS-3 models deliver scalability, advanced core and data center services intelligence, and increased savings”, says Cisco, pointing to a mini-flick which promises its new system has the capacity to …
… deliver every movie ever made in four minutes !
That’ll cause a few entertainment cartel pacemakers to kick in.
Not only but also, the Carrier routing system 3 router, handling up to 322 Terabits per second, has the potential to allow “Every man, woman and child in China can make a video call at the same time,” promises Pankaj Patel, Cisco senior VP and general manager of Cisco’s service provider group.
“It brings the services of cloud to life”, says Cisco president John Chambers.
Both men are quoted in IT World Canada which says Cisco is running user trials with AT&T in its 100 Gigabit per second Ethernet service, scheduled for release later this year.
The story goes on >>>
Cisco has designed CRS 3 to work with its Unified Computing System blade servers, announced a year ago for the enterprise data centre market.
With the CRS 3, only a multi-shelf system with 1152 slots would get 322 Tbps. The four-slot single shelf system has 1.12 Tbps.
Cisco will also sell eight and 16-slot single shelf-systems, with 2.24 Tbps and 4.48 Tbps respectively.
Summarises Yankee Group’s Zeus Kerravala on No Jitter, “while I think the announcement of CRS-3 doesn’t match the crazy amount of hype that has been created for this by Cisco and aided by the media, it is a solid announcement that provides a strong foundation for network operators to build emerging services.
“For those that think the box is just too big and we’ll never use that kind of bandwidth, remember we’ve said that before and we’ve always been wrong … ”

It’s primarily intended for backhaul, not something that you’re add into your home. It’s (presently) of questionable need, given that the backbone isn’t close to being saturated – the ’slow speeds’ are a result of poor last-mile routing speeds. If Cisco wants to truly reshape the way the world works, they should figure out a way to get ISPs to substantially invest in last-mile connectivity

I have been pirating content for over 15 years, at some point, I owned ‘everything’ I wanted, the rest is fodder for boredom. I have more content than Warner Bros (movies) and Sony (movies) combined. I probably have more mp3s than BPI has collected in royalties!
If I started watching my movie library, starting with ‘1′, one movie a day, going all the way to ‘Z’, it would take 8 years to start over. I think the REAL drop in piracy (and there has been one) is because there is less and less to ‘go get’ because the pirate’s library is getting satisfied.
/pats the little retard MAFIAA on the head, ‘there there, it’s not getting any better.., here are some scissors, now run and go play in traffic ..’
Once ‘high-speed’ is actually based on fios numbers, the MAFIAA kartels are going to have a heart attack with split-second downloads, and streaming anything-you-want on demand, if you don’t already HAVE a library…
