That, in turn, should translate into savings in the number of data bytes consumers use and, thus, in the amount they pay their carriers each month particularly given the recent trend toward tiered rather than unlimited data plans.
Systems being tested now have a range of 750 feet and share data packets 140 bytes long (the equivalent of a few typed sentences) every tenth of a second.
Teradata dominates the market for huge data warehouses, defined as those bigger than 1 terabyte, or 1 trillion bytes of data (that's how many characters you would find in 2 million books).
Every day all this new digital activity is creating 2.5 quintillion bytes of data.
FORBES: The Four Data Waves And How They Help Us Meet Marketing Goals
Each month it drills into 16 trillion bytes of data on the browsing, buying and social behavior of millions of people.
It can hold up 340M bytes of data, or the equivalent of what could be stored on 200 standard floppy disks, IBM said.
In 2012, every day 2.5 quintillion bytes of data were created.
In our struggle to manage billions of bytes of data, technology spawned the use of algorithms (mathematical formulas) that monitor words and phrases to expose and even predict problematic behaviors.
All you have to know is that Watson is not connected to the Internet, contains more than ten trillion bytes of data and operates the equivalent of 2, 800 computer nodes on an ultra-high-speed network.

New intelligence inside the latest Cisco gear will bring it all together, from video-ready Internet phones to security-hardened switches and a speedy new router that can, in a single second, move 11 trillion bytes of data, or roughly 11 million novels.
In all, IDC estimates that by 2015 we will create or replicate around 8 zettabytes (8, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 bytes) of new data each year.
Its storage potential is enormous: Dr Sheats says that initially, a single layer of memory the size of a sheet of writing paper will be able to store one billion bytes (a gigabyte) of data.
Instead, astronomers are now faced with vast quantities of data. (The Hubble Space Telescope alone churns out 2 billion bytes per day.) Traditionally, observations remain the exclusive property of the astronomer who made them for one year.
Org is filling up a 24-terabyte Sun Microsystems server with case law going back to 1754. (That's a lot of bytes, enough to type out 12 million novels.) Malamud bought some data from Fastcase while building his service, which is available for free on the Web.
Org is filling up a 24-terabyte Sun Microsystems (nasdaq: JAVA - news - people ) server with case law going back to 1754. (That's a lot of bytes, enough to type out 12 million novels.) Malamud bought some data from Fastcase while building his service, which is available for free on the Web.
Assuming each text message is 128 bytes, you could send 8, 388, 608 texts in 1 gigabyte of data.
