"The storage system backing Google's search engine has to be able to
serve millions of data reads and writes daily from thousands of
individual processes running on thousands of servers, can almost never
be down for a backup or maintenance, and has to perpetually grow to
accommodate the ever-expanding number of pages added by Google's
Web-crawling robots. In total, Google processes over 20 petabytes of
data per day."
