Storage utilization:
Conclusion: 2015: 40 TB per month, 2016: 80 TB/month. We assume that the bandwith doubles every year.
Bandwidth utilization:
The total available bandwith: 5-6 GB/s (NFS). Max. speed per PC: 800 MB/s (NFS). ZMQ will reach the full line speed and it can utilize several ethernet interfaces.
