Thinking where and how large the storage system of computer will head? Petabytes, Terabytes, Gigabytes is now will be the past .As the future of computer technology and its storage system will be Exabyte.
Actually Exabyte is equal to 1 quintillion bytes denoted by EB used with byte multiples, the unit indicates a power of 1000.
So How big can your mind can calculates then here is another equation:
1 EB = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 B = 1018 bytes = 1 billion gigabytes = 1 million terabytes
Shocking forecast of computer storage requirement will be by 2013:
· Annual global IP traffic- two-thirds of a 667 Exabyte.
· Online video will generate over 18 Exabytes per month by 2013
· Global mobile data traffic two Exabytes per month.
To match this requirement Oracle, Sun and StorageTek jointly declares to unveil a new tape drive the StorageTek T10000C. Forget about the storage how human brain will remember this new terminology’s. Anyway StorageTek known for their high-capacity tape drives, robotic tape silos for mainframe as well as large-scale data storage environments. These tapes use new medium Barium-Ferrite (BaFe) tape with all single cartridges can store 10 TB of data 5 TB native capacity and normal 2x compression.
To be very true to you all guys this is very technical info; difficult to understand to non-technical’s. But anyways as the above need of future capacity of storage increases day by day then in future there will be separate hi tech advanced engineering courses will be required.
