Suppose you would like to urgently deliver 50 terabytes of data from San Francisco to Los Angeles that
needs to be there in 24 hours. You have available a 1000 Mbps dedicated link for data transfer. Would
you prefer to transmit the data via this link or instead use FedEx overnight delivery?
Explain this situation in detail, ignoring the monetary costs of
delivering the data.
Solution
I dont understand, FedEx overnight delivery plays a role in this situation,since this is data we are dealin with.
Now coming to dedicated link of 1000mbps would transfer 50tb(50000000mb) of data in 14-15hours.
Calculation:
for 1 sec = 1000mbps, so for an hour 3600 secs. So in 1 hour , 3600000mb data get transferred.
now for 14hours, (3600*14)*1000=50400000mb(50Tb) get transferred.
So approximately 14-15 hours to tranfer data.
