PetaBox

[1][2] It was designed by the staff of the Internet Archive and C. R. Saikley to store and process one petabyte (a million gigabytes) of information.

The Internet Archive then spun off its Petabox production to the newly-formed company Capricorn Technologies.

[3] Between 2004 and 2007, Capricorn replicated the Internet Archive's deployment of the Petabox for major academic institutions, digital preservationists, government agencies, high-performance computing (HPC) and major research sites, medical imaging providers, digital image repositories, storage outsourcing sites, and other enterprises.

In 2007, the Internet Archive data center housed approximately three petabytes of Petabox storage technology.

[4][5] As of December 2021, the Internet Archive's Petabox storage system consists of four data centers, 745 nodes, and 28,000 spinning disks.
