Haha for when you need another DC that's sort of across town, or you're trying to add artificial latency intra DC with enormous coils of fiber.

Not too unreasonably expensive - roughly in line with a GeForce 1080, and that's after the Official HP Hardware markup. I wonder how much the switch/cabling is...



> trying to add artificial latency intra DC with enormous coils of fiber.

Do people really do this?! (I don't have DC experience, serious question)


I believe that's a reference to IEX's magic shoebox. 61 kilometers of cable that provide 350 microseconds of delay for stock market voodoo purposes.


At least one stock exchange has: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEX


Heh like the peers said, it was a reference to what IEX does.
