I don't work in internet architecture anymore. Call it growing old, call it
going the easy way, on the whole, I was ready for a change, I was offered
change, I signed for it. Still, I will under no circumstance give up digging on
network tech news in the industry to keep up with sharpening my vision of the
technological ecosystem. Although I'm done (for the moment) with being a grease
monkey, I need that technical background to do whatever I'm doing right
now.
Now that I'm on the other side of the fence, I'd like to share with the very
few out there following my nerdy posts some of the frustrations I've been
accumulating over my past Internet Engineering years.
This oughta be fun

Google's secret 10G Ethernet Switches ?
By gregoire on Sunday 30 March 2008, 16:39
I recently read an article mentioning Google was actually manufacturing switches of its own, for 10G Server Distribution in their datacenters. I found the article on Nyquist Capital , which actually based their assumption on tracing the massive purchase of SFP+ components in the optics market. From what we can learn, Google has around 450.000 servers in its "Google Grid", spreaded over the many datacenters they own and rent.
