As someone in this area: we very much want to make your EiB of data to feel local. It's hard and I'm sorry we only have 3.5 9's of read availability.

People working on storage systems are doing amazing things. When I first heard about Ceph more than a decade ago, I immediately emailed one of the founders asking for an exabyte data store, because I knew just how amazingly difficult it would be and that it was very much needed.

3.5 9s is incredible on large stores. S3 and GCS are just amazing machines. I have nothing but admiration for the people that make this happen.
