Keep in mind the network cost of petabytes per hour cross continent.

Those of us who don't own our own cross-ocean fiber can't afford to design systems like this.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a cargo ship full of SSDs.

(I'm paraphrasing an old, old joke.)

Fairly high latency though I guess.

[trhway]

using jet for trans ocean data delivery gives you several hours latency - acceptable for the logs - at the cost on the scale like $0.1-0.3/TB (really depends on the napkin used for the estimations)

Big capital costs in setting up the number of parallel writers required on one end and readers required on the other, though. And presumably human "IT teamster" labor, hooking and unhooking drives.

[gnulinux]

Sounds like a startup idea.

Level 3 and Vodafone have a bit of a first mover advantage here
