Exabyte
An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to one quintillion bytes (10^18 bytes).
History/Origin
The exabyte was introduced as data storage capacities increased, serving as a large-scale unit to measure vast amounts of data, especially in data centers and cloud storage, during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage and transfer, such as global internet traffic, data centers, and cloud storage capacities in modern digital infrastructure.
Byte
A byte (B) is a unit of digital information that typically consists of eight bits and is used to represent a single character in computer systems.
History/Origin
The byte was introduced in the early days of computer architecture to standardize the amount of data used to encode a character. It became a fundamental unit in data storage and processing, evolving alongside advancements in computing technology.
Current Use
Bytes are used to measure and specify data size in computer memory, storage devices, and data transfer rates. They form the basis for larger units like kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes, and are essential in programming, data management, and digital communication.
