SLAC Researchers use ESnet for Record Speed Transfer of 1 Petabyte of Data

"The innovative and versatile nature of ESnet's OSCARS enabled us to design a unique 5000-mile 100 Gbps loop, which our ESnet colleagues quickly helped establish in 2015," said Zettar Founder and CEO Chin Fang. "We were thus able to have the data storage clusters and the data transfer nodes co-located in the same rack although they were at both ends of the loop. Physically they were separated by inches, but digitally they are separated by 5000miles. Further the clusters themselves have a self-imposed cap of 80 Gbps."
