The Google CEO Eric Schmidt released an interesting fact yesterday.
Every 2 days, Google generates approximately 5 exabytes of data!! 1 exabyte (EB) = 1 quintillion bytes (quintillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 10006 = 1018) or, for the non techies, great quote from Eric Schmidt: "Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003" http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/04/schmidt-data/ How on earth do Google backup and synch all that data across their datacentres! Imagine having to do a restore

Still didn't mean too much until I related it to gigabyte and terabytes...
So 1 exabyte (EB) = 1 billion gigabytes = 1 million terabytes ...as suspected, a lot!! ![]() Thank you Wikipedia. |
