How much is a petabyte?
 Recently we released a blog post to help people visualize the petabyte. This article seems to have hit home. We saw traffic to the website jump as websites, bloggers, and Twitter users picked up the article and passed it along.
To help you further visualize the petabyte: one petabyte is roughly one thousand terabytes, one million gigabytes, or one billion megabytes. That's the space of 10,000 laptops, each with a 100 GB hard drive, on which you could store approximately one of the following:
- 13.3 years of HD-TV video
- 10 million yards of books on a shelf
- 20 million four-drawer filing cabinets filled with text
- 250 million mp3 songs
Mozy currently stores more than 15 petabytes of customer files. It's significant because Mozy is positioned to scale and take on large amounts of data. And being owned by Fortune 500 company EMC, we're here for the long haul.
Be safe,

 | I had a break-in at my house. The robbers popped a window out of its frame in order to get into the house, and then took both of my Macs and most of my peripherals. Those computers had my entire life on them-pictures that date back through my entire life, hundreds of pages of my writings, my music collection, TV shows and movies from iTunes, etc.
The computers are replaceable, but my personal files are not. If I had simply relied on an on-site backup, all my files would be gone. Luckily, however, everything was backed up and I lost nothing. I'm Mozy's biggest advocate. |  |

ReplyDeleteThanks, but I ended up switching to MyOtherDrive.com recently and have found their service much more to my liking.
