Beijing Olympics first Tapeless Olympics

I have a free subscription to Broadcast Engineering and read the following about the Olympic Games:

Production servers will be central to the first fully HD and tapeless Olympic Games. Beijing Olympic Broadcasting (BOB) will feature a central media server comprising two clusters of HD XT servers, with one recording HD … at 100Mb/s and the second SD at 6Mb/s. The high-res server supports an online storage of 100TB (1600 hours), while the low-res server supports up to 33TB of storage (4500 hours).1

The cameras will be recording at 250fps to 5000fps, frames per second, which will provide Super Slow Motion.
