Petabit
A petabit (Pb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The petabit was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data quantities, reflecting the increasing need for larger units in data storage and transfer, especially during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabits are primarily used in the context of large-scale data storage, data transfer rates, and network bandwidth measurements, particularly in data centers, internet infrastructure, and high-capacity storage systems.
Exabyte (10^18 Bytes)
An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bytes.
History/Origin
The exabyte was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to represent extremely large data quantities, becoming more relevant with the growth of big data and data centers in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage capacities, such as global internet data traffic, data centers, and cloud storage infrastructures.
