It's probably cheaper and faster to ship 368TB on a plane than over the wire so it makes sense it's portable.

12mp 16bit grayscale deflate compressed tiff images at 1.5hz are still around 30MB a second
laser data is about 56k per scan line at 50 scans a second
Sonar data is extremely dense if you're collecting water column (we usually don't) at 32MB a ping, usually around 30 pings per second.
we also collect black box stats data at around 5 gigs per day, although that's in a sqlite DB with double,double records so we could compress it by around 85% if we had to

>>100151671
just as an aside, often times compression is too expensive to employ on the robot computers because it has to dedicate most of its CPU time to streaming, storing, and processing the data.
we picked deflate on the tiff images because we could operate at 30hz which gave us enough headroom to save and process the image in time to be ready to receive the next one.

we actually hit this problem recently; our laser was transmitting LAS data as 56k udp packets over loopback so we were losing like 30% of the scan lines.

the change also let us move away from having the vendor API running on our computers and onto their device computer. definitely made life easier

>Western Digital, known for its hard drives and SSDs, has unveiled a new product that isn't a storage device in the technical sense. The product, known as the Ultrastar Transporter, is a new Western Digital-built travel case that houses a whopping 368TB of NVMe flash storage. The case is TAA compliant and has a 12-core Intel Ice Lake server that houses all SSDs and dual 200Gb ethernet ports.
That's not too shabby actually. There's not that much backbone infrastructure that could beat that transfer rate.

Academia regularly produces shitfuck tons of data and labs don't usually have the required internet infrastructure, because they're either too remote or too specialized.
You know ALMA in the atacama desert? Those telescopes are in the middle of fucking nowhere and while they do have internet, it's mainly for communications woth staff and shit.
A couple weeks of observations can easily produce a couple hundred TB of data and it is 100% cheaper to move that data to a device and fly it to a supercomputer facility than it is to build (and maintain) the entire high speed infrastructure required for that data transfer.

>>100160457
That too, but they do have some minor local area wifi for communications, since the radio telescope array is decently away (and spread around) from the command centre.
Since ALMA works in the 4 to 0.3 mm range, longer frequencies (such as those from wifi) can be tuned out or compensated if some interference does happen.

tiff supports different compression techniques internally, but you're basically limited to lzo and deflate for any kind of portability.
quic is just udp, sctp might be cool but why complicate the problem when tcp can handle it and everyone is familiar with it?
>>
>>100160651
Same
>>
>>100161835
QUIC is reliable, that was the point.
SCTP itself is often implemented on top of udp.
And those were just examples (prominent ones used in HTTP3 and WebRTC). The point was that you can get reliability on top of UDP without going full TCP.

As for tiff. Here is a quick and dirty test with a few desktop screenshots. Input is raw tiff.

Training done with:
zstd -2 -o zstd_dict_2 -B128k --train *.raw.tiff
zstd -6 -o zstd_dict_6 -B128k --train *.raw.tiff

So, default small(ish) dictionary size is used (110KiB).

My company needed to move a massive amount of data to AWS glacial storage. We used one of their snowmobiles to do it. It took a bit to get the data into the truck but once they drove it to their datacenter they have some special connections that loaded it to s3 about 3x faster than we gave it to them.
Saved on pushing the data over the cloud, saved on data ingress costs in aws. and now saving a shit load on the costs of keeping the data.

They make smaller tools for the same process like the "snowbal" which lets someone do the same thing with a suitcase. Depending on the dataset size and its location it can certainly be cheaper and faster to do it physically. Ingress/egress costs can be a bitch depending on who youre paying in the chain. A colo egress of a couple PB of data probably costs more than that suitcase

"My company" is a misnomer here since I dont work for them anymore. But it was digitalglobe. Dont remember the exact dates since pre-covid is a blur but it around 2017. Before I moved from Denver.
Theres no way only one company has used it. The dates we originally wanted to move it it was reserved.
