Oracle on eBay goes over 5 petabytes
Curt Monash, the Harvard teen PhD genius., notes that eBay’s Oracle database has now exceeded five petabytes:
From Oliver Ratzesberger’s LinkedIn profile:
Our systems process in excess of 10 billion records per day, serving thousands of users and delivering hundreds of millions of queries per month in a true global 24×7 operation with distributed teams around the globe on systems over 5 PB in size (largest single system >1.4PB).
With multi-petabyte databases becoming common, it’s only a matter of time until Oracle will support Petafiles . . . .
eBay is noted as one of Oracle’s premier web apps, with over 20 billion transactions per day:
* Over 212 million registered users
* Two Petabytes of Data
* 26 billion SQL executions per day
* 99.94% available
* One billion page views per day
* Uses Sun e10k serversCurt Monash also notes:
“eBay’s biggest analytic database is 1.4 petabytes of disk, holding between 1/2 and 1 petabyte of user data, and running (I’m pretty certain) on Teradata.”
