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….
