An anonymous reader points out this article about "...how a big site like MySpace uses thousands of cloud computing cores to do performance testing on its live site. There are some really great numbers in there from the performance tests, like generating 16GB/second of bandwidth and 77,000 hits/second during testing (not including the live traffic on the site at the time)."

The real news here is that people still use myspace. -_-
16GB/second is not the same as 16 gigabits per sec (Score:2, Insightful)
while the article is biased, most of it is true (Score:4, Insightful)
