A yottabyte is a unit of digital information equal to 10^24 bytes, or one trillion terabytes under the decimal system. It represents a scale far beyond the storage used by most individual organizations, but the term helps describe the potential growth of global data from sensors, video, scientific instruments, networks, and AI systems. Capacity alone does not make data useful. Training and analytics also depend on bandwidth, computation, energy, governance, metadata, quality, retention, and legal permission. Binary measurements use different prefixes, so a yottabyte should not be confused with a yobibyte. Large-scale estimates should state which convention and assumptions they use.
