"Hillview aims to achieve 1400MB per second! Lastly - and no doubt far into the future - 'Niagara' is a software streaming server solution which aims to manage a sci-fi-ish 10Gbps".

Isn't 10Gbps = 1250MBps; so Niagra is slower than Hillview? (although I can just about make out it says 'from' in the image) or am I being dumb? (Not unknown ;^)

1GB = 1024MB so 1400MBps = 1.4GBps

The server drivesd would therefore be 10 times faster!

Eh? 10Gbps (i.e SMALL b) = 10 Gigbits per second, there are 8 bits in a byte => 10/8 = 1.25GBps; hence slower that Hillview at 1.40GBps

Have I gone mad?
