The Exabyte of data stored in the Cloud has been exceeded

1,099,511,627,776 Mb, More than 1 trillion megabytes (one million million) are stored in the main current Clouds , and continually growing. This number is so enormously huge that we would need to put together three galaxies like the one we live in to put together a close number of stars.

If we turned it into a book known as Don Quixote de la Mancha, we would get – by the number of letters – about 546,817,470 copies. If each book were about 10cm high and we stacked them one on top of the other, the last copy would not only leave the summit of Everest far below, but before reaching the first tenth of the height of the column we would also leave the International Station behindAnd we would continue until we reached an altitude of almost 5,500 kilometers, with only the distant geostationary communications satellites standing above it.

To make it more understandable, if we started horizontal stacking in Lisbon, we could comfortably cross the Atlantic above the book column, all the way to New York.

The Cloud Numbers infographic

These figures appear in an interesting study by Nasuni, a company specialized in the Cloud industry. Which have published a report of which this excellent infographic is part of where interesting conclusions can be drawn

• The segmentation of data I had the feeling that the Cloud was a gigantic hard drive, and it is, but the data is segmented in small or very small sizes.Moving mainly between 100kb and 10kb, followed by 10Mb files below.
• The Cloud meets the most optimistic expectations of quality of service Thus it can be seen that they practically never fail, or very exceptionally . That read and write errors also practically do not exist; being in the case of Azure completely true without any failure during the testing period.
• The two most widely used, Azure and Amazone, are not only the fastest, most secure, and most available, but also they are also the most stable in their evolution.

The final conclusion that the most recommended Cloud is, for Nasuni, Microsoft Azure For availability, speed and reliability in cloud operations Reading and writing. To which I would add the stability of the platform that can be seen in the availability graph over time, and the ease of use of its services, following the philosophy of the multinational when building its products.
