large clusters and need programmers. Obviously petabye file
systems are going to be distributed across multiple disc arrays
on multiple machines in a cluster and, sometimes, spread out
among multiple clusters.</p>

I know that EMC (dunno about EMC2) is looking to build some new
petabyte capable filesystems that focus on storing metadata of
several specific industries (bioinformatics is one of them). Big
data experience isn't as relevant for that.<br>
