Bandwidth Rules 2.... Netboy - Bandwidth Rules 2 by: SmartWire (M/Chicago, IL) 20499 of 20499 >>Another issue hindering MS is that they aren't very good at handling the bandwidth. Internet 2, the new and improved version of this sometimes dog slow medium, is being tested in universities and some companies as we speak. The goal is to dramatically increase the speed and power. Remember now, NT choked at 400 MBPS. Netware and Unix variants have demonstated the ability to transfer data almost 3 times as fast as NT. Even the demands on a simple web server will dramatically rise. Image 100 people hitting a corporate web site with cable modems requesting a large multimedia file. They can't hide this dog behind 14.4 and 28.8 modems anymore :-) Goldman Sachs an hour and a half away. Do well whoever you are.>> The bigger the pipe, the more demands are made on enterprise networking infrastructure. Would you want to be head of corporate IT/IS, having been a champion of NT these last few years?? Watch these NT allegiances fall by the wayside, one after another as power shifts inside every major corporation to a fuller acknowledgement of the power of bandwidth. The Fat PC the powers of chips have been eclipsed. What we have here is the equivalient to the end of the train and oil monopolies, IBM's loss to the govt, the breakup of AT&T and the fall of communism all wrapped up in one neat little package which screams GO!!!!!! Bandwidth Rules...... PS - Does anyone care to know that the NYSE, to this day, only supports 9600 baud modems. Goldman, care to question this? The NYSE is scared to death of bandwidth. GO!!
