My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

The most obvious change 5G might bring about isn’t to cell phones but to local networks, whether at home or in the office. High-speed networks through 5G may represent the next generation of cord cutting. Those waits can be significant, even if you’re on a corporate network. What will 5G mean in practice? I don’t, do you?

When delving into the networking aspect of a hybrid cloud deployment, complexities arise due to the requirement of linking or expanding existing on-premises network architectures into the cloud sphere. Within the hybrid framework, this involves determining optimal locations for various categories of applications and data.
