This is really cool!

The video mentioned Brocade 100GbE switches, I hadn't heard of these, so I had to look it up... seems they released it last year at a cost of ~$100k per port. Cisco and Juniper quickly followed. Brocade rolls out 100G Ethernet at $100K per port

I'm not a Networking person, and have only seen 10GbE starting to get rolled out at places I've worked over the last couple years as costs have come down for it. It'll be pretty cool when costs come down on 100GbE enough to start seeing it used more.
