HPSS Happenings and History

To an Exabyte and beyond!

On March 14th, 2024, ECMWF reported, “We hit one exabyte stored in a single HPSS namespace”. They added, “Between spring of 2010 and today, we have grown at 47% annually on average; a 53 times magnitude increase…. It is great to know that HPSS has scaled for us from just under 19PB back then to 1EB today!” Cheers to the HPSS team at ECMWF for being the first HPSS deployment to pass this milestone!
