15. rođendan YouTubea uz malo fascinantne statisti

100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute then have you ever wondered how can google store all such data and what is the youtube servers size in GBs?

Factor for 720p: (93.8614355MB - 25.9MB)/(93.8614355MB)=0.72406132655

That would result in:

191.141537 gigabytes/minute

11.1996994 terabytes/hour

268.792787 terabytes/day

7.75157161 petabytes/month

93.0188597 petabytes/year

and according to research

15 years of youtube data is stored on lots of hard drives. Not only that but the same data is stored on multiple hard drives may be 100,000 hard drives stacked in server and size of the server would be 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes (That's 19 '0's, or 10 "Exabytes").

or 1 sextillion gigabytes of data

and youtube infrastructure is complicated

as youtube uses a pretty complicated distribution method for its data. when a standard person uploads a video, it only gets stored in the most local data center. this is why when you watch a video with very little views, it often buffers a bunch and takes forever to load.

as view count increases, copies of the data are distributed to relevant data centers around the world. this is why ads and extremely popular content loads extremely quickly.
