Where do you see an Intel 100gbe nic?

Edit: I think you're referring to omnipath. Should be clear than Intel has no 100gbe card available. That link is also pcie3x8, so it can do a max of ~60gbps to host.

Haha for when you need another DC that's sort of across town, or you're trying to add artificial latency intra DC with enormous coils of fiber.

Not too unreasonably expensive - roughly in line with a GeForce 1080, and that's after the Official HP Hardware markup. I wonder how much the switch/cabling is...

Do people really do this?! (I don't have DC experience, serious question)

At least one stock exchange has: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEX

I believe that's a reference to IEX's magic shoebox. 61 kilometers of cable that provide 350 microseconds of delay for stock market voodoo purposes.

Heh like the peers said, it was a reference to what IEX does.

There are Intel chipset single and dual port 100GbE pci-express 3.0 NICs with good Linux kernel support in v4.8+.
