Petabyte
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 terabytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes, used to measure large data storage capacities.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as data storage capacities grew beyond terabytes, becoming more common with the expansion of data centers and large-scale storage systems in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to quantify data in large-scale data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management, reflecting the massive scale of modern digital data.
Exabyte
An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to one quintillion bytes (10^18 bytes).
History/Origin
The exabyte was introduced as data storage capacities increased, serving as a large-scale unit to measure vast amounts of data, especially in data centers and cloud storage, during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage and transfer, such as global internet traffic, data centers, and cloud storage capacities in modern digital infrastructure.
