Petabit

 A petabit (Pb) is a unit of digital information or data storage capacity. Here's a breakdown:

Definition

- *Petabit (Pb)*: A unit of digital information equivalent to 1,000 terabits or 1,000,000 gigabits.

- *Petabyte (PB)*: A unit of digital storage capacity equivalent to 1,000 terabytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes.

Context

- *Data Transfer Rates*: Petabit-per-second (Pb/s) data transfer rates are being researched and developed for high-speed data transmission.

- *Data Storage*: Petabytes are used to measure large-scale data storage capacities, such as those in data centers or cloud storage.

Scale

• - *1 Petabit = 1,000 Terabits*
• - *1 Petabyte = 1,000 Terabytes*
• - *1 Petabyte = 1 million Gigabytes*

The petabit and petabyte units help measure and describe the vast amounts of data being generated, stored, and transmitted in today's digital world.
