About these units
Gigabit (Gb)
A gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits, commonly used to describe modern network speeds, such as 1 Gbps Ethernet, fiber-optic connections, and high-speed wireless systems. Gigabit connections revolutionized both home and enterprise computing by enabling rapid file transfers, cloud computing, and high-definition streaming. As speeds continue to increase—10, 40, 100 Gbps and beyond—the gigabit becomes a foundational stepping stone in the evolution of networking capability. The Gb illustrates how rapidly communication technology has scaled compared to physical storage.
Exabyte (EB)
A binary exabyte equals 2⁶⁰ bytes, or 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes, representing an astronomical amount of data. Large cloud platforms, scientific institutions, and governments manage exabytes of archival data, including climate models, particle physics data, telescope surveys, and global internet archives. Working at the exabyte scale requires new paradigms in distributed storage, parallel computing, data replication, and large-scale analytics. Few organizations truly operate at exabyte scale, but this threshold represents the future of global data infrastructure.
