A yottabyte isn't what happens when the Jedi master starts gnawing on your leg. It's the information equivalent of one quadrillion gigabytes, and is enough digital data to fill the states of Delaware and Rhode Island with a million data centers, according to Backblaze. While the world hasn't yet seen many yottabytes, industries like Internet search, genomics, climate research, and business analytics are starting to create massive data sets -- in the peta- and exabyte range -- that are requiring an entirely new set of big data tools to manage.
