Amazing amount of data

Posted in Uncategorized on Jan 10, 2008

Not that long ago, few years ago, when I was very much involved in data analysis and data mining, talking about terabytes was talking about a lot of data and most people did not even know what a petabyte was. Now, you can buy a terabyte of storage in consumer stores (just saw it in Bic Camera in Tokyo) and Google is processing 20 petabytes of data per day!!! Think that from one terabyte to a petabyte is one order of magnitude bigger, which means a lot bigger. No matter how long I am in this industry, the pace of change and evolution will never stop amazing me….

    I am the director for Internet and Multimedia for Telefónica R&D, based in Barcelona where I managed their R&D center. I have been a bit all over the place for the last 15 years, specially in Tokyo, my favorite town, and finally came back in mid 2006 to my home town. I like everything that has to do with the Internet, computers, software and gadgets, not just the geeky aspect but also the business side. I also love reading (business essays mainly) and TV series and movies as well as having a good dinner and night out with my friends.
