To fit 500 petabytes on 1500 tapes, you'd need to put 333TB on a tape. Do any currently available tape formats support that much data on a single tape? Granted, I stopped paying attention to tape drive capacities a while ago, but the upcoming LTO-8 standard will "only" support 13TB/tape, so you'd need 38,000 of them to hold 500 PB. I've seen some higher density announcements in the 200 - 300TB/tape range, but couldn't find any products available. AWS does offer a "Snowmobile" [1] product, that can hold 100PB on disks in a tractor trailer. [1] https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-snowmobile-move-exabyte... |
