One petabyte equals roughly 100 times the printed contents of the Library of Congress. The LSST project "pushes forward database technology dramatically," says Philip Pinto, a physics professor at Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona and a member of the LSST project's board of directors. "The LSST database will probably be the largest known nonproprietary database in the world." So if you were faced with the task of storing 50 Terabytes per day, what kind of architecture would it require? Do you think Oracle would hold up with a transaction rate of 600 Megabytes per second? The architecture of such a beast could drive out some interesting developments for more general use.
