"The joint solution from Commvault and INFINIDAT for delivering data protection solutions at
petabyte scale is coming at a key inflection point in the industry," said Vincent Chang, President at Arrosoft Solutions.
Intel is trying to change that with a new form factor for SSDs that could push server capacities into the
petabyte range.
Private cloud storage can scale out to meet the demands for additional storage capacity, but can it scale down to meet the needs of small and medium-sized organizations that don't have
petabytes of data?
In the future, Panasonic plans to increase the capacity of the Archival Disc to 500GB and eventually 1TB per disc, which will enable an even larger-scale freeze-ray system, including
petabyte capacity increases.
Nexenta is a provider of Open Source-driven Software- Defined Storage (OpenSDS) with 6,000+ customers, 400+ partners, 33 patents, and more than 1,200
petabytes of storage under management.
The capacity of the 7300 FSP is 217TB effective in a three rack unit space, while the Violin 7700 FSP six-shelf configuration exceeds 1.3
petabytes effective, delivering industrial scale and density of 2.2
petabytes effective in a rack.
The storage capacity of the ETERNUS CD10000 can be scaled out to 56
petabytes just by adding storage nodes, which combine disks with controllers.
Backblaze's own facility now stores 85
petabytes for their customers.
"After a thorough evaluation of the storage solutions in the market, Cleversafe's active archive solution was chosen to meet our needs for

And in the next 40 years, information-gathering will speed up even more as the world enters the
Petabyte Age, Toffler Associates predicts.
Advertisements on Facebook pages, custom recommendations on Amazon, and up-to-the-second search results on Google all result from sorting data sets as large as multiple
petabytes. A
petabyte is 1,000 terabytes.
files that will soon approach the
