I can't remember which but there was a nanog presentation a few years
ago about max bandwidth and the top of the chart was still listed as a
747 cargo full of optical media.. Now as far as getting that data on
and off the media....

I'd highly recommend you think about how to move that seed via Fedex or
UPS. You're already going to be storing the data somewhere, if
possible, take whatever it is your storing it on (or backing it up on)
to the origin location and copy it to it.... *then* ship it to and
install it in your datacenter. It is likely that the cost of doing
this will actually be less than the cost of buying a circuit which will
do this in a reasonable amount of time, especially if you are buying a
piece of hardware to store this data (likely).
For the updates, 4pb per year is just over 1Mb/s if I did the math
correctly.... This is in the realm of normal internet, assuming the
data grows gradually throughout a year.
I'll let others point you toward a 10Gig wave if you'd rather not use
the "move media" approach.

I work for a medical data company and we have a possible project
where will be getting data from a human genome company. What would
be a option for move the data between our datacenter and there
datacenter? We are in the southeast and they are in the midwest. The
data amount would be a seed of 5pb and growth of 4pb per year. The
networking on our side would be 100gbit LAN.
