    Since I haven't mentioned any numbers yet, if you have 10GbE, I would expect a 500GB transfer to take no more than 15 minutes. Is that adequate? Yes, that should be fine. The analysis we do isn't something we interact with in real-time. It's mostly statistical and machine-learning applications...
