The image at the right might prompt you of effective ol’ HAL from “ 2001 : A Space Odyssey . ” And if you replace “ sociopathic execution gentleman’s gentleman tendancies ” with “ giant store array ” you ’d almost be veracious by saying it is HAL . Well , and it ’s sort of dazed , I infer . This doctrine of analogy is falling aside .
What you ’re depend at is Hitachi ’s new “ SANRISE Universal Storage Platform ” high - death memory system . Not a literal . Now I will try and dethaw your psyche with overwhelming proficient details .
Using Hitachi ’s “ existence ’s first ” virtual disk raiment system , this gimmick can manage up to 32PB ( Petabytes ) of outside storage . Those of you not in the know about storage will now learn that a pebibyte is approximately 10 ^ 15 ( one quadrillion ) byte , and is quite step up from the terabytes follow gigabytes . get all that ? To put it in consumer - ese , 32PB can harbour nearly 7 billion MP3s ( assuming 5 MB per ) . This would be about 49 million film , if they are encoded to 700 MiB . In comparison , imdb.com presently lists a bare 411,447 titles .
Before you go asking “ where can I download internet.zip ? ? ” realize that initially , the system of rules can only adjudge 165 TB . Oh yeah , and a setup with this “ little ” storage be about one million dollar .
