	The Petabyte Corporation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		And under that is a directive from management asking for a technical analysis of a market simulator that could predict the response to a proposed campaign from single parents living in suburbs with incomes in the third decile to within 5%.
		Currently petabyte responsibilities are mostly restricted to the IT departments of research organizations -- telescopes, molecular genetics labs, particle accelerators.
		A petabyte of data is so big, and the quality of the information it contains is so low, that it is bound to contain and create inconsistent information, which means that any petabyte-level system has to contain ways of detecting and resolving data conflicts.

	Definition of Petabyte
		A petabyte is 2 to the 50th power, or 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes.
		A petabyte is 1,024 terabytes and precedes the exabyte unit of measurement.
		Since even the largest hard drives are measured in terabytes, petabytes are only used to measure the storage space of multiple hard drives or other collections of data.

	Data Trends: Discover the Petabyte CIO
		Petabyte levels of storage are not that usual today.
		Currently, petabyte responsibilities are mostly restricted to the IT departments of universities, research organizations, and microbiology and genetics labs.
		While some observers say petabyte storage is just not worth the hassle, optimists believe new technologies -- such as systems that will automatically detect and resolve data conflicts -- will keep petabyte problems of cost, error and time under control.

		The fact that a petabyte drive is real and will be here in seven years is absolutely amazing and will transform much of the way computers are used today.
		Thus the petabyte disk will hold some 500,000 hours worth of movies; if you want to watch them all day and all night without a break for popcorn, they will actually fill up your petabyte drive if you have a lifetime of video on it as it will give you 57 years of video.
		However, a second petabyte derive could record every moment of life, in high-quality video, of the oldest person on earth.

	Print Version - Unisys Announces Real-Time Petabyte Challenge \| Business intelligence, data warehousing and analytics ...
		To realize this vision, significant advancement in storage and storage management must be achieved to dramatically reduce the cost of these storage systems, which would otherwise fall in the range of $50 to $100 million using today's enterprise-class storage devices.
		The Real-Time Petabyte Challenge is currently using data from three separate Cornell projects funded by a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation and Cornell's Computer and Information Science and Engineering directorate.
		By the third year of the grant, the system is expected to exceed one petabyte of data.

	What is a Petabyte?
		In the world of ever-growing data capacity, a petabyte represents the frontier just ahead of the terabyte, which itself runs just ahead of the gigabyte.
		In other words, 1,024 gigabytes is one terabyte, and 1,024 terabytes is one petabyte.
		Beyond the petabyte are the exabyte, zettabyte and yottabyte.

		And for the business sector, the answer is a reflection of current economic reality: the typical American consumer now generates some 100 gigabytes of data during his or her lifetime, including medical, educational, insurance, and credit-history data, says James Rothnie, chief technology officer at storage-system vendor EMC Corporation.
		A petabyte of data may seem like a lot to swallow today, but businesses' appetite for information shows no signs of diminishing.

		Data warehouses with as much as 100 to 200 terabytes of raw data will be operational by next year, performing nearly 2,000 concurrent queries and occupying nearly 1 petabyte (1,000 terabytes) of disk space.
		Those predictions are in a new report from the Winter Corp. consulting firm, based on surveys of operators of some of the largest decision-support (data warehouse) and transaction-processing databases in the world.

	Tower Of Power - News by InformationWeek
		At today's prices, the cost of buying a petabyte database and its attendant hardware, software, and personnel is probably too big for a private-sector company: $500 million to $750 million, estimates Richard Winter, an industry analyst who specializes in large databases.
		That's why IT managers who can imagine a petabyte in their future should be running their database today on a highly scalable system, including massively parallel processor hardware such as NCR's Worldmark or IBM's eServer xSeries to which processor nodes can be added as the system expands.
		A database with a petabyte of raw data is further off--about five years away, says Tim Donar, a senior system architect at Acxiom Corp., which builds and operates data warehouses for large clients.

		It’s been estimated that the amount of global data is increasing by about 30 percent per year, with 2006 expected to see a staggering 11 exabytes of total information produced.
		The good news is that vendor databases have grown steadily in sophistication as they’ve had to respond to the challenges of supporting multi-terabyte databases.
		Commercial petabyte databases are now on the horizon, and they’ll certainly offer their own unique challenges to customers.
