Hi ftth. re:
"The HFT "trickle-down" effect? (i.e. lessons learned from the many dimensions of HFT network optimizations serve to improve cloud computing) (not sure if I should put a smiley after that or not)"
No smiley, this is straightfaced. See my earlier #msg-26728927 on this topic, from whence the following snippet:
"HFT and Cloud Computing (a term that I use very loosely here, for obvious reasons, but at some point requires its own thread AGAIN), while different, are nevertheless on a collision course. Comparable skills and technological gadgetry will be required for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and where optimizing latency between domains of a cloud fabric is seen as crucial, especially when one considers that those domains might in actuality be located continents apart, demands it, and there will be lots of places going forward where these virtualized substitutions for copper cage-like constructs will apply."

Yes, I do recall those earlier discussions here going back to the earlier part of the decade. Concerning monetizing earlier thoughts posted here, however, going Beyond the Rubicon with empty pockets and nothing to show for it has become an all-too-familiar experience, agreed. The problem is, by the time that our earlier musings come to commercial fruition, we're already bored with them. To wit, FiOS in 2004, by which time we were already on to other matters of interest.
