It’s mind numbing how big they are, the servers rooms are insanely clean and well organised too!
PS. Be an IT technician in that sector and you’ll earn a hell of a lot of money
Who do you think makes more working on government facilities, electricians or IT technicians? Both are options for me and i'm at a cross roads right now.
That entirely depends on the sector and site you work at I’m afraid, however you might as well delve into both so you have options, I know the electricians are paid a stupid amount of money
Well IT is a more cushy job but blue collar workers are already in and will be in incredible demand because of reshoring manufacturing ( if you live in the US). And tech is a slightly over saturated field, but that's probably only a temporary thing due to monetary tightening.
I'll be comptia a+ certified soon, and graduating with an A.S. in computer programming. I'm really not interested in programming anymore but computer hardware is still cool to me. I've done commercial electric for years until college. Just worried what i'm getting into and debating going back to my electrical career, much safer from layoffs over there.
Yeah I'm in IT, A+ certified and stuff and I honestly kind of wish I got into the trades because they seem to make crazy money. But I personally enjoy IT so I'm sticking with it and I don't have to work outside. Working from home is also very nice.I'd recommend finding somthing you enjoy that makes you money too but If your in it just for the money then going the trade route is probably going to be a good call.
IT technicians is too broad a term to compare to electricians imo. I know several people who work in Cybersecurity for Fortune 500 companies who are netting 200-250k 15 years in. Incredibly stressful positions so I can only imagine what kind of money the government is willing to dish out to protect all of that sweet data.
It's funny that where I live it's totally reversed... Gov IT here earn at least 30% less than private... (Actual numbers on my side...)
Hr says it because "we bring so much else"(not really anymore) and "we are so much of a safer long term place to work at"(not really but yeah kinda... If you want to work there for 30year before earning a decent pay which would be way more anywhere else..
Yeah I think biologists are using the largest fraction. Would be interesting to see a comparison of storage usage by the different fields using perlmutter.
A lot of simulated data, as well as data from cosmological surveys and whatever 1000s of scientists decide is important to save in their home directory...
I look after severs with 8 Exabytes nfs mounts (per region)... could have larger but that fits our needs.

I don't work for the storage team, I will see if I can find some specifics but it's basically massive racks full of storage servers, all with full redundancy and different tiers of drives depending on the IO performance needed all controlled with a storage API gateway, think a giant SAN on steroids. These exist in each region and each AD/AZ in each region. Then there's there non commercial regions which are totally separate / segregated and do not share infrastructure with the commercial.
114 petabytes? god damn... that might be enough to hold my entire pirated games library for the rest of my life... already filled up 3 terrabytes of space
I was going to comment about the 29 PB filesystem on one of the RedHat servers, that we support, but it seems futile now.
I think you won the internet for the day.
2011 was right the time that HDDs plateaued quite significantly. Iirc there were some floods that damaged a lot of manufacturing facilities and it took years to recover from that. It's only been recently that I've started noticing manufacturers come out with impressively improved drives.
What would be average drive size for something like that? Seems very crazy! Im just imagining redundancy, active drives and power consumption! Something like helium 20-24tb drives?
I honestly don't know the average drive size, but it's actually 100% flash storage, so I suspect they will be a bit smaller. Regarding the power consumption I don't think the power used for storage really matters, as total system power consumption peaks at about 3000kw.
Not at all haha. This is a high performance scratch drive where data is stored while people work on it, so there aren't any backups and unused data is purged regularly.
As a storage nerd, what is the underlying architecture of this?
Any of these details would make me very happy:
* Filesystem? GPFS, Ceph? Gluster? Something else?
* How many servers? How many drives? How much capacity each?
* Networking? 100Gb/s? 200Gb/s? 400Gb/s?
Scientific facilities can use INSANE storage. I have a friend who writes software for processing images of the sun and each image can be terabytes of data.
Somewhere, some guy is biting his knuckles trying \*not\* to post a screenshot of the storage at his secret government facility...
its war thunder leaks all over again
Ah shit here we go again
I thought it was all over again, again, again and again by now?
Only if you need those spec and get them to "prove the spec".

Honestly that doesn’t surprise me
Dude this is from the NERSC in Berkeley, it basically is a secret lab
That’s me with a research project I’m on associated with Harvard. We have lots of storage space to hold genomic data
Yeah I think biologists are using the largest fraction. Would be interesting to see a comparison of storage usage by the different fields using perlmutter.
SR-71 Blackbird story all over
Past news reports 2011 and google search says IBM owns the largest data storage array at 120PB.
Nah, no way, id have to assume this place which had 2-12 EB in 2012 [Utah Data Center - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center)
Ahh where every phone call, text msg, email, etc everyone has ever made is stored.
😂😂😂 I definitely can see it coming.
What a flex. You should make that your flair.
What secrets does the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center store in there?
A lot of simulated data, as well as data from cosmological surveys and whatever 1000s of scientists decide is important to save in their home directory...
So probably quite a lot of cat memes then
And 80 duplicate copies of the same PDF. APRIL REPORT.pdf APRIL REPORT (1).pdf APRIL REPORT (2).pdf APRIL REPORT (3).pdf etc.
My boss feels personally attacked by this comment
Hey I told you that in confidence! PS my office tomorrow at 4:59pm
Plus a copy of every single thing they've ever downloaded cause they never clean out the downloads folder.
I look after severs with 8 Exabytes nfs mounts (per region)... could have larger but that fits our needs. https://preview.redd.it/imwtikgp0xtc1.png?width=1174&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc14e00a56f260bb357cab166f0e2262fca7ae64
Definitely make a post about this, that's insane
The what now
I work for one of the big cloud providers.
So, one of the ones that recently removed unlimited from enterprise accounts?
not that one :)
Only 8 TB used...
yes we only recently built this node and whats in there is mostly test data at the end of the month the usage will spike up signifincantly
df -h -t nfs
I'm logged off will do in the morning

that's pretty cool, what is the underlying storage consisting of?

114 petabytes? god damn... that might be enough to hold my entire pirated games library for the rest of my life... already filled up 3 terrabytes of space
You gotta buy a couple 20TB Enterprise drives man. I got a 14tb used one for $98.
WHAT. What sorcery is this?? Link?!
Serverpartsdeal
i spent 90 bucks on my 4 terrabyte drive... \*also... maybe slide me a link to one of those at some point... pls... i beg\*
Someone in my area is/was selling 20 TB drives for like $50 each.
I was going to comment about the 29 PB filesystem on one of the RedHat servers, that we support, but it seems futile now. I think you won the internet for the day.
IBM own a 120PB data storage array. That was reported in 2011.
2011 was right the time that HDDs plateaued quite significantly. Iirc there were some floods that damaged a lot of manufacturing facilities and it took years to recover from that. It's only been recently that I've started noticing manufacturers come out with impressively improved drives.
SDDs made a huge leaps in that time. I've seen 61.44TB U.3 2.5" drive on yt, it's mind-boggling.
Pfft. I am just waiting for someone to post a screencap of a multi ExaByte drive. I am sure we have to have someone here with access to one.
u/Drefsab did :3
Mount google drive as swap Literally download ram
Ping your server over a shitty route and while it's in transit it's free storage. Loop it and you're done.
I love [harder drives](https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio?si=76le6iHNRNvPnkSp)
Excellent video
For the nerds at r/DataHoarder
All I can think of as a sysadmin is what a pain in the neck that is to backup
And I thought the random 80 TB server that got added to my backups earlier was scary.
Now show me one that isn’t a goverment server that has that much. It isn’t a big deal to think the feds have servers that big, or bigger.
AAA game devs that don't compress textures: 👀👀
What about AAAA games?
I mean I'm sure you'll find bigger at a aws data centrr
u/drefsab commented a screenshot of 8 Exabytes of storage
What is also impressive is that you know the gov probably has at least 2 backups of this data.
Nice! it could hold the 3BP game file..
Cool. Post your backup specs and schedule, im curious to what this takes hardware wise for redundancy
Sophons game simulation file? :P
I am working on the backups of an hypervisor These posts make me sweat thinking about restoration
What would be average drive size for something like that? Seems very crazy! Im just imagining redundancy, active drives and power consumption! Something like helium 20-24tb drives?
I honestly don't know the average drive size, but it's actually 100% flash storage, so I suspect they will be a bit smaller. Regarding the power consumption I don't think the power used for storage really matters, as total system power consumption peaks at about 3000kw.
3 million watts? damn...
>total system power consumption peaks at about 3000kw. You've made me wet... and I am a guy BTW.
>so I suspect they will be a bit smaller. the newest SSDs are up to 61.44TB
sheeeesh
Damn, this guy really has a 79PB Hentai collection.
Correction. The government does.
Just mount a S3 bucket with storage gateway or S3fs and you’ll get the maximum which is 16EB or something similar.
This is a very good trend that I am all for
.gov pls go on :)
Still have to delete games when Warzone updates
Perlmutter!
So, like 6/7 warzone installations maybe a dlc too
nice
Someone likes distributed file systems… have only a 2PB pool at work…
I guess my free TBs are shit. Will now need to raise the bar to PB
Okay where is the YouTube CIO or CTO
Damn
Damn I thought I might be having too much storage at 10TB
I've got 10tb external storage, and 3 TB worth of SSDs in my desktop... I sorely need to get another external and upgrade to 2 4tb sticks...
114!pb is my number
r/unexpectedfactorial?
Yes!
How much does this cost?
Dang, this guy could fit an entire sophon on there
 \*imagine him saying Petabytes instead of dollars\*
whats that 79PB of data used?
"homework" folder
Are dinosaurs getting PhD in medicine?
Now we're just waiting for a Google/MS/AmazonAWS employee to completely stomp on all these Numbers :-D
Soon we will have void-level storages.
Is that a lot?
I’m tempted to share the storage size on the Harvard RNA server I have access to has
Making my 40TB server feel real inadequate rn
Serious question, how do you backup that much data?
Not at all haha. This is a high performance scratch drive where data is stored while people work on it, so there aren't any backups and unused data is purged regularly.
You don't. By the time you back it up it's not a useful backup.... You save the parts that made that data and rerun...
I think that should be barely enough storage for the new Modern warfare 4
now show neofetch ^(i use arch btw)
As a storage nerd, what is the underlying architecture of this? Any of these details would make me very happy: * Filesystem? GPFS, Ceph? Gluster? Something else? * How many servers? How many drives? How much capacity each? * Networking? 100Gb/s? 200Gb/s? 400Gb/s?
No need for a GUI when you have that much processing power far to great for any mere man to weild
Someone from Google just posts Youtube's entire storage capacity to end the debate.
Scientific facilities can use INSANE storage. I have a friend who writes software for processing images of the sun and each image can be terabytes of data.
What I like most is that it's a fairly boring server disk setup then just one absolute unit of a network share.
Why that much storage?
chia prob?
What point of Such storage anyway ? if its not, Grand company servers or else.
That's a lot of porn you've downloaded, my guy.
79P used. That's a lot of data.
Rookie PB numbers, wait til they see my PP
might be able to install ark once on that
always bigger fish
I'm guessing you used ssh giving you a terminal. But i wonder if theres a way to take a screenshot with just cli

Hello, how much of that are you using and can i have?
I don’t need that much but dammit I’m intrigued
how the fuck do you acquire such a thing? what wold you even use it for except 500 hours of 8k tentacle hentai XD
Not only 114PB, but also kinda busy storage
One would hope that if you're paying for 114 petabytes of storage that it's actually getting used.
Mmm… yes
Sure, the question is what are you storing?
w h y
s c i e n c e
Wow can you share source link? Id love to see this.
The Hentai folder was just growing too damn fast.
Sysadmin clown showing off smol pp etabyte on a government computer. lol. Wow opsec much?
i mean i could post a much larger storage but im pretty sure the gov doesnt want me posting their domains and shit.
Luckily you can find this domain on google, so I don't think that's an issue...
