Glesso, the fleet with fewer boxes

Field notes

Glesso frames content delivery as a fleet-architecture problem rather than a simple bandwidth purchase. Its examples move from 32 nodes for a 3.2 Tb/s target on a 100 GbE legacy design to four nodes at 800 GbE and two at a 1.6 Tb/s design standard. The page attributes lower hardware needs to end-to-end tuning across NIC queues, PCIe lanes, NUMA domains, NVMe reads, and kernel TLS handling. Higher figures and the cost reduction remain explicitly modelled or scoped.
