| CHALLENGECHALLENGE With over 600 exabytes of digital information currently held world wide and that amount increasing tenfold every 5 years “big data” is becoming a phenomenon. Big data facts:
- Facebook is home to more than 40 billion photos.
- Google processes around 1 PetaByte every hour.
- Hotmail holds 155PB of data and is adding 2 PetaBytes per month.
- Xbox live generates 5 PetaBytes of data over the Christmas period.
- Walmart’s databases are estimated at more than 2.5 PetaBytes.
- The total amount of data generated by Windows updates monthly is over 1 PetaByte.
- According to Cisco by 2013 the amount of traffic flowing over the internet annually will reach 667 ExaBytes.
- The Large Hadron Collider at CERN generates 40 TeraBytes every second.
- Oil Exploration – 3D & 4D geological surveys by the world’s seismic vessels generate up to 12 PetaBytes of new data every year.
- The media and entertainment industry currently purchases around 4PB per year of storage capacity and with higher resolution content this is expected to increase to 47 PetaBytes per year by 2015.

A Storage Area Network is an architecture to attach remote computer storage devices (such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes) to servers in such a way that the devices appear as locally attached to the operating system. NAS = Network Attached Storage. A NAS unit is essentially a self-contained computer connected to a network, with the sole purpose of supplying file-based data storage services to other devices on the network. Capacity Measurement: 1 Byte X 1000 = 1 Kilobyte (10^3)
1 Kilobyte X 1000 = 1 Megabyte (10^6)
1 Megabyte X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte (10^9)
1 Gigabyte X 1000 = 1 Terabyte (10^12 Trillion)
1 Terabyte X 1000 = 1 Petabyte (10^15 Quadrillion)
1 Petabyte X 1000 = 1 Exabyte (10^18 Quintillion)
1 Exabyte X 1000 = 1 Zetabyte (10^21 Sextillion)
1 Zetabyte X 1000 = 1 Yottabyte (10^21) Cloud Computing = IT related capabilities provided as a service over the internet. Applications and information are permanently stored in servers on the Internet with some information cached temporarily on local client PC’s while in use.
