We have an 8,000 core SGI Altix HPCS and about 20 petabytes of archive storage for the scientist's data.

- Justin
  • The Internet Archive contains almost 2 petabytes of data.
  • Google processes about 20 petabytes of data a day.
  • The 4 experiments in the Large Hadron Collider will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year, which will be distributed over the LHC Computing Grid.
  • Facebook has just over 1 petabyte of users' photos stored, translating into roughly 10 billion photos.
  • Isohunt has about 1 petabyte of files contained in torrents indexed globally.
Do you really need all that room?
