True, however this is competing with Supercomputers, which are quite a special case.<p>It&#x27;s difficult to define a supercomputer, but essentially a defining factor is being able to read data from the <i>memory</i> (not spinning&#x2F;SSD disk) across the network at the same speed as if it were local. This is typically done with specialised networking (like Infiniband) that can reach nearly 100Gb&#x2F;s, something that we are still quite far away from on &#x27;commodity hardware&#x27;.<p>I think this company must be doing something very different, or have made some sort of breakthrough, that allows them to do what they&#x27;re claiming, I don&#x27;t think the network becoming faster and having SSDs is what has enabled this, at least not for the most part.
