Facebook warehousing 180 PETABYTES of data a year • The Register

Facebook warehousing 180 PETABYTES of data a year • The Register

I have to say that I'm increasingly impressed by the sheer quantity of open source code Facebook issues each cycle. The more interesting problematic, from my perspective (as a professional in this space): the communities developing the code, working on it, productizing it--doing all the things that open source communities do--seem far less visible than one would expect. That's odd, given the essential nature of Facebook... or is it?
