Juniper intros world's first 100Gbps Ethernet interface

Most Ethernet devices used at home and offices today make do with the 100Mbps standard that has been used for many years. Gigabit options have also been available for a while, which largely satisfied many people\'s need for speed, and some businesses have even adopted the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard.

Pretty awesome accomplishment. Now if we could only reach this goal with wireless for the home. ;P

This is pretty fast but most people don't even a Net connection of over 50 MB/s and it would require some pretty good hardware, like a really fast Hard driver to take advantage of the speeds, but for servers ETC the cables could handle thousands of PCs and data devices.

That's 12.5 GigaBytes per second! Most desktop hard drives strain to offer 80 MB/sec. Really, this sounds like some nice connectivity for a Virtualized Server farm. But that's not going to stop me from wanting this to my desktop!
