With all due respect - On page 48 of the P5 notes following was the definition of a Petabyte:
"The volume of big data held by large companies such as Walmart (supermarkets), Apple and EBay is measured in multiple petabytes. What’s a petabyte? It’s 1015 bytes (characters) of information. A typical disc on a personal computer (PC) holds 109 bytes (a gigabyte), so the big data depositories of these companies hold at least the data that could typically be held on 1 million PCs, perhaps even 10 to 20 million PCs."
Is it right cz it should be way bigger than That.
Ask the Tutor ACCA APM
Peta Byte
It the petabyte should not be 1015: it should be 10 to the power 15.
Similarly, the gigabyte should not be be 109: it should read 10 to the power 9.
Sorry and thanks for pointing it out.
We'll change it.
