Petabye age takenover by Extabye Era



In the storage world of ever growing data capacity  - More isn't just more, MORE is different!!! 


Getting used to Gigabytes & Terabytes in today's market, we should now be thinking about "Extabyte" capacity. Put 1,024 bytes together and you have a kilobyte(KB). Take the same amount of KB (1,024) and you’ve built a megabyte(MB); 1,024 MB and you have a gigabyte(GB) – and so on to get a terabyte(TB), and finally, 1,024 TB is a petabyte(PB). So how many bytes are in a Extabyte? 

That’s a thousand PB or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. 

NetApp achieved one of this magic moments in the past 52 weeks by shipping a extabyte of storage1.
