 wtf
edit.. ahh yes, got a translation from him.. yes yes, makes so much sense now! I asked him to tell me what Dark Fibres were, etc..
" Special fibre optic link between servers and datacentres to reduce IO latency.
Fibre optic link with unused fibres that kick in when IO usage peeks. Has sh1t hot cards in to control IO to RAM and RAID storage."
..erm, lol |
 I understood the first statement. Yes it makes more sense that they use the Blade Servers. Now i can actually see CitiBank doing this.
