one of my close friends runs a server hosting(that he lets me help mange).. for the math eggs you going to like this.


So he has 10 servers with about 100TB of memory per server(Has 10 10TB network memory for rent)


10*100=1000TB of memory


he hosts 120 sites localy


1000/120 about 8.3TB


one of the sites is a privite social network. it has about 900 members 400 of them post about 10-20 times every day.


900-400=500 that post under 10 times a day


each post is 20MB


20*10=200MB*500 =10TB


now for the people that post more then 20


20*20=400*400=160000MB=16TB


now together that equals out 26TB but the site only rents 2.7TB extra.


alot of the posts are eased after 24 hours only the one that active are kept.
