That's just different niche. I assume that you work in trading based on the word "multicast".

What Google needs is "Big+Cheaper" datacenters, and it has to work with codes written by 100000 different mere morals. What you described is in the "Small+Expensive" field, but with extreme worst-case performance demand.

"Big+Expensive" = Supercomputer "Small+Cheaper" = ??? (Note that the Big+Cheaper solutions not necessarily work for this, as you can't amortize and ignore one-time R&D/ops cost anymore)
