| | Petabyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A petabyte (derived from the SI prefix peta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one quadrillion (one long scale billiard) bytes. | | | Reportedly, Google has between 1.8 and 5 petabytes of storage. | | | As of January 2006, the http://www.climateprediction.net distributed computing experiment which aims to run thousands of cycles of modelled climate change to predict future patterns is producing 2-3 petabytes of data. |

| | Big Just Got Bigger - DATA TRENDS - CIO Magazine Oct 15,2002 |
| | A petabyte of data is so big, and the quality of the information it contains is perforce so low, that it is bound to contain and create inconsistent information, which means that any petabyte-level system has to contain ways of detecting and resolving data conflicts. | | | Currently, petabyte responsibilities are mostly restricted to the IT departments of universities, research organizations, and microbiology and genetics labs. | | | Finally, petabyte levels of storage would allow simulations and predictive models of enormous complexity. |

| | Technically, the system won't be a full-fledged petabyte database because the database itself won't store the data objects but will point to them through metadata, he said. | | | Teradata this month certified the database components necessary to build a petabyte database, Brobst said."It's all about how much detailed information can you have that makes economic sense," he said. | | | One of his biggest concerns is making sure the system can continue to perform well with fast query responses as demands increase. |
