Juniper: exaflood is imminent
(previous | next)
 

Juniper CEO Scott Kriens tells the San Jose Mercury News the exaflood is coming.

In pure mathematical terms, the imminence of an exaflood is almost a demonstrable fact.

But Kriens also agrees that if we invest enough in new network technologies, the exaflood -- a deluge of new Internet traffic generated chiefly by new video applications -- is not a problem but an opportunity.

The thing I don't agree with is that it is therefore going to cause a meltdown. I think it will be handled without the trauma that some people project. But it is real.

Here's my article that got this exaflood talk started in the first place.
