Petabyte
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 terabytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes, used to measure large data storage capacities.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as data storage capacities grew beyond terabytes, becoming more common with the expansion of data centers and large-scale storage systems in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to quantify data in large-scale data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management, reflecting the massive scale of modern digital data.
Character
A character is a unit of data representing a symbol, letter, digit, or other mark used in text processing and storage.
History/Origin
The concept of a character originated with the development of written language and was adapted into digital computing with the advent of character encoding standards such as ASCII and Unicode in the 20th century.
Current Use
In data storage and computing, a character typically refers to a unit of data that encodes a symbol or letter, commonly stored as 1 byte in ASCII or variable length in Unicode encoding schemes.
