zettabyte
Data measurement giant
A zettabyte is a unit of digital information equal to one sextillion bytes—a one followed by 21 zeros.
The prefix zetta- comes from the Latin word for seven, as a zettabyte is 1,000 to the seventh power bytes.
Global internet traffic is now measured in zettabytes per year.
The world's data storage capacity exceeded one zettabyte around 2010.
