I was just browsing through a Teradata magazine and came across this snippet, which reminded me how fast data growth is, and the need for solutions to keep up with that growth:

1992 — First system over 1TB went live

1996 — Demonstrated world’s largest data warehouse with 11TB of data

1999 — World’s largest data warehouse in production with 130TB of user data

2004 — Largest centralized data warehouse housing 423TB of data

2006 — Teradata certified up to 4 petabytes
 
That’s one almighty data warehouse!
