Maybe I am misunderstanding something... it just took my Mac book Pro doing an rsync to copy a TB of data from a small NAS  at work yesterday to get about 700 Gb/sec on a GigE office network for hours yesterday.

I had to do that in our Santana Clara office rather than from home outside Boston, which is where I work 90% of the time.

That's one little computer and one user...

What does my Mac Book Pro draw doing that? 80 Watts?

That's a secondary decision.
Given roof space, solar panels and/or snow-outside, maybe the answer is that
I regularly have 2 our of 3 of those available in a decentralized way.

given the amount of processing capacity that you can get today in a pasively
cooled system, you can do quite a b it of serving from a small amount of space
and power.

The days when it took rooms of Sun boxes to saturate a Gb line are long gone,
you can do that with just a handful of machines.
