What the Heck is an Exabyte?

You may have heard about the googol and a googolplex; they’re REALLY BIG numbers!

A googol is the number 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. The googolplex is 1 followed by a googol zeros! The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, “Mathematics and the Imagination” by Kasner and James Newman.

"I recently enabled mirroring on one of our larger customers who is using two Dell 2300 Dual Processor 600MHZ servers with 36G of disk space running RedHat Linux 6.2. I am amazed at how simple the implementation was. I am very impressed with the c-tree Server and the capabilities it allows us to offer our customers. We can provide high-end functionality for a fraction of the cost of the alternatives with little or no downside. Our products now provide much more performance and capabilities per dollar invested, in a large part due to the efficiencies gained with the c-tree Server."
