Any idea on the type of link they are using to connect to the containers ?

If they fill the thing in 30 days, that average to 40 Go/s, way faster than 10gbe or Fibre Channel.

> Each Snowmobile includes a network cable connected to a high-speed switch capable of supporting 1 Tb/second of data transfer spread across multiple 40 Gb/second connections. Assuming that your existing network can transfer data at that rate, you can fill a Snowmobile in about 10 days.
