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.
Exabit
An exabit (Eb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The exabit was introduced as part of the binary prefix system to represent large data quantities, aligning with the International System of Units (SI) prefixes, and gained recognition with the increasing need for measuring massive data storage and transfer capacities in the digital age.
Current Use
Exabits are primarily used in contexts involving extremely large data storage capacities, high-speed data transfer rates, and global data infrastructure metrics, especially in data centers, cloud storage, and internet backbone measurements.
