IBM Building 120PB Cluster Out of 200,000 Hard Disks

Slashdot writes

“MrSeb writes

“Smashing all known records by some margin, IBM Research Almaden, California, has developed hardware and software technologies that will allow it to strap together 200,000 hard drives to create a single storage cluster of 120 petabytes — 120 million gigabytes. The data repository, which currently has no name, is being developed for an unnamed customer, but with a capacity of 120PB, it’s most likely use will be a storage device for a governmental (or Facebook) supercomputer. With IBM’s GPFS (General Parallel File System), over 30,000 files can be created per second — and with massive parallelism, and no doubt thanks to the 200,000 individual drives in the array, single files can be read or written at several terabytes per second.”

How Cloud Computing will affect IT Jobs

According to Kevin Fogarty

“Kevin Fogarty explained ho different roles and positions can be helpful in coming years n the field of Cloud Computing. it wont be as big as the internet revolution in which ordinary people are more dependent on Google then their eidetic memory but according to Dan Olds its not far when ordinary people will get access to more sophisticated software information and data at one place. So how will it influence IT jobs

By 2014 One third of alll the IT organization will give cloud service to business partner rather then providing internal IT services

By 2015 spending on public cloud services (including SaaS) will make up 46 percent of all new IT spending.”
